I am unashamed. What about you? This is breaking news. This is breaking news. I'm embarrassed to even bring this up. But since it went, as they say, viral, I will bring it up. Somebody on Facebook declares that Uncle Si passed away. And it went viral, which I have to explain all these terms to fill because he's not

familiar that means like I've died several times I've been in prison and none of it's been true but inside died he died here two or three years ago he had a bagel. Oh he just this just happened they found him in the woods and yeah

he was unresponsive yeah I read it yeah I was in Missouri he was last week well Jay came over to my house your son-in-law so clarified before you go any further size not dead well that's what Jay came over and he said hey I just want you know, size alive.

And I'm like, what happened? Because the way he said it, I thought, oh, he's in an emergency room. He's got coronavirus. Like,

don't panic. He's a lie. You know, when somebody says, look, I just want you to know, everything's okay. Well,

that means something bad happened. Why would you pick a man like Silas Robertson multiple times and say he just died? Well, because look at size. It looks like he could kill over it any minute. I mean, they're just shooting in the dark.

here but you know size looking like he you know this they usually you have far more fame than sigh has or me or anybody else around this place that your death would be like a whoa whoa it you know i don't know i don't think my passing is going to be earth shattering nor size well i don't know people it'll make the news i tell you i changed my i changed my perspective on Si, when we went, the last event we did, which was recently, when we went to Richmond, Virginia, and I kid you not, I saw at least 10 women basically throw themselves at Si. That is scary. Yeah.

That's scary. The question, Dad, is what is... For womanhood, I mean. What's wrong with women in America when you're throwing yourself? And I mean, look, it didn't matter the race, all different races, sizes. ages, shapes. Look, some of them cried, you know.

There was a steward who's just tears were straight. She's just said, I am just absolutely in love with you. And, of course, I said, yeah, I know. He said, but then. Come here, darling. Let me take a picture. To size credit, he would immediately start talking about his flaming redhead that he's married to. And the last thing you want to do is rile her up.

So I just wanted to say that Si is fine, you know, Willie, typical Willie, because I noticed now they're selling a Duck Commander. They have two T-shirts. No, no, no, no, no. Well, there's two about Sai, but there's six total ones. Another one is about the king or the founders of social distancing. I noticed that had the Duck Commander symbol, which I guess his dad kind of. Duck Commander is selling. So here's, this is our world.

This is our world. Somebody makes up a story about size. Are you supposed to get at least our permission to do this stuff that's going to make a t-shirt about you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Phil, we're way past that. Willie, he ain't checked with me about anything in the years. So, you know, maybe a few bucks in it. I figured, well, we're going to use your likeness over here and make t-shirts and get them all over the country on, yeah-ya social distance, you know.

Well, I would think, well, give me what's what they're paying. I think that ship has sailed. Yeah, that's what I think. Because Willie, take that out with your son. It's like he told me, he said, well, I made you famous. And I was like, well, how'd you do that? He's like, because you didn't believe that the TV show would work. I'm like, okay, well, take that to anything.

He said, but I did. And so his point is. We all, when they said, would they pitch the show, do you want to do the show, everybody looked around, well, you know, we'll get back with you. So they leave, the ones who want to do the show, the New Yorkers and the Los Sanjali's California crowd. So when they left, y'all's question to me was, what do you think? And I said, I don't think it at work, a bunch of redneck shooting ducks.

I said, people are not going to watch that. I said, however, I did have a caveat. I said, however. I don't remember the caveat. I said, what if God is behind it? You don't remember me saying that? I said, what if God's behind it? I said, if that's the case, I said, it'll go ballistic.

I said, so I'm not ruling out that he might have had a... It went belisted. I mean, I remember the day, Si said... I don't think it would work unless God's behind it, then you can't stop it. That's what I said. I mean, speaking of Sai, I do remember the first day when he got the director out there and said, hey, you're not directing this. And we were like apologizing for Cy, our crazy uncle.

And he's like, God Almighty's directing this. I remember that day thinking, and it kind of made me relax. I thought, you know, So I was probably right. I mean, so it goes into what you're saying. I know we've converted a lot of people via the since the show came on. So, you know, it was a pretty good plan, not of my doing or anybody doing. One of the shirts says God's not dead and neither is Uncle Si, which I thought was catchy,

but also, you know, mentions the Almighty. And then one of them is a picture of Cy, which doesn't really look like him, but it says, hey, boys, I'm not dead. He actually dies ever two or two. three years. Oh, yeah. Somebody comes up to his dead. First I've heard of this, you know.

No, they sent him. They've got it all how somebody said, no, they've flown him to, you know, the bigger hospital. There's been three different. For a person who doesn't have a computer or cell phone, you sure are in the know about viral conspiracies. Hey, two words, Miss Kay. I mean, that's all that is.

Yeah. I know some people that you all don't know. So I'm blowing smoke. I don't know anybody other people. and y'all. Well, it's so weird. You were starting talking. It feels like, yeah, I heard.

I was like, how would you hear it? He hadn't heard the lay. But the one dad's affirmed to about two years ago. So someone said Uncle Si was going to appear at their event. And it was within driving distance of here. And they had never, unfortunately, they had never talked to Uncle Si about him appearing at their event. But they were advertising them.

Well, then it gets down to the event. They're doing all the people show up. up and they were like, where's Uncle Si? And so somebody at this event said, oh, he was in a terrible car accident. So then that went viral. But I didn't even know anything about it. And, of course, once they tracked it down, they found out somebody just lied to cover their own rear about, you know, saying they booked him when they didn't. So, yeah, it's just a lot of crazy stuff that you get into.

That's a pathetic thing. So I guess I'll have to say, because I will save the emails, dot commander.com, because some of you're going to say, I got to get that shirt. So go there and check it out. I think you can pre-order them. So we're not really shilling for Willie, but you're going to ask me now that we brought it up. We will get zero. We'll get no money.

Just know that. So don't think we're trying to sell you. No, it's not us. But I know you're going to want it. I'll probably will wear one just so you can see what we. Willie will appreciate it. But I'll have to give you, I'll have to give Willie credit. You know, he has a compound.

I mean, he's right across the street from me. So he's got this pond that he turned into a lake. It was a pond. He made it in a lake. He built a golf course. around it and he stalked the lake full of fish he has a tennis court you know basketball court well now i've noticed since the coronavirus has come out the whole gated community which we now have because we have a gate because of the show well that this is now the playground oh there's also four golf holes

on it don't forget that what's all i mentioned the you say god yeah yeah but he's got it where it's actually nine holes and he's got people you know it's just like you pull up up to some, if you go to some nice golf place, you know, there's people all the time working. I'm noticing, I'm looking out there. There's somebody working out there all the time. Oh, yeah. I mean, his T-boxes are nice. Well, he's got a couple of guys that work for them that are tremendous. So, yeah, they stay busy. Yeah. So basically during this, you know, just stay at home. I mean, what is like?

We didn't have a playground. That's right. Okay. So now I'm like, we're brothers. I've tried to stay out of there as much, but now I'm like, there's wrong. There's nothing else to do. So yesterday we did a video over there. Stone saw him and he ran over and got the phone. He wanted to get a video of it. Oh, yeah, he told me about that. Well, he had it, and he had, the one thing they saw,

there was two bass and they were spawning, so it was just right there on the close to the bank, but their backs were litter sticking out of the water. I would say 10-pound bass. Yeah, they're in there that big. And so I couldn't believe it. They were just right there on the bank. You could see them because they were spawning.

But, yeah, they had Sai over there. Of course, they're doing, size doing a little, kind of like your, so Dad's doing a, in the quarantine with Phil. By the way, if you want to check that out on Blaze TV, which is sort of a, I don't know what you call it, Dad, basically explaining how you've been doing the social distance lifestyle for 40 years that we talked about before.

Basically, if you just wanted, no one said this about it yet, but it's how to make God your hiding place. I like that. I like that. That's good. That's just off the top of my head. They told me about it.

They said, well, have things changed for you since the coronavirus? I said, why are you talking about it? I said, no, see it. I'm already under quarantine, lockdown, social distance, or whatever you want to call it. I said, I retreated years ago. You have a berm, a river all the way around. What most people don't realize is where we're sitting right now and carrying on this conversation, where we are, as we have now about 1,500 acres that the Robertson clan owns, all woods, all. out of that 1,500 acres, right now today, there's about 15 to 20 acres of the 1,500 that is actually dry ground.

Everything else is flooded, everything. That's why nobody wants it. That's why nobody wants it. So that kind of land, people don't go there because now you have to go by boat. You couldn't build a house. You have to have a boat and know how to get there. Yeah, people ask me how my life has changed during this, and I say, well, I went from a germaphobe to a genius.

Seriously. Because now everybody that always used to make fun of me, because I just, I don't, you know, I'm not a touchy-feely guy, you know. I'm like, a head nod will work. I love the Japanese custom, you know. You just like, I mean, they do a little more of a bow, but a head nod is all I need. But there's no fluid changing.

and change. There's no little, about fluids, I mean, particles in the air. I know what you mean. You nod your head. You nod your head. There's no particles, you know. You just, you have a graphic way of explaining things that make me almost nauseated.

You just didn't in your mouth. Yeah, normal conversation. Turn your head, put up your elbow to cough. I mean, don't let your ever let your hands touch your face. that you're going down. You just touched your face. That's what I'm saying. I just washed my hands.

And he did it again. But I'm just saying, wash your hands every 15 minutes, and they've got it all down to how to survive. But if you pull back from being around a lot of people, I've had these speaking engagements and all that, you know, but you're back in the back, but meet and greet, you're shaking the hands of, we've sat there for hours doing that. Well, something about that, look, my hypocrisy only goes so far.

During this event, the coronavirus, the pandemic, I can understand why they would say you might ought to just retreat, a little retreat. Well, so I've retreated, you know, mainly because I didn't want to get involved in all the world. Well, you're in the age bracket, though, that's concerning. And what the show is going to illustrate is a lot of mom and dad's lifestyle, which they picked up from their parents, and they've carried on a lot of the traditions, which I want to know as well, and I want to pass on to my kids and grandkids, how to can stuff. I mean, there's a lot of things you can do and live off a land or a gardener or a lot of different things that are still really good.

You know, I thought about that during World War II when everything was rationed. They had what they call victory gardens. And so, you know, the whole country is like it is right now. It was war effort, lockdown. Everything was going to send stuff to troops and, you know, supplies. So everybody, they were like, everybody pulled together and said, we've got to have gardens everywhere. So they turned every golf course, every park turned into a giant garden. And I read yesterday they were producing as many vegetables, just people, as all of the farms put together.

I mean, it can be done. Think about it like me, but I never even really thought that seriously about it or that long about it. But you say, you don't go shopping ever. No, I haven't shopped in 40 years. Phil, you've never shopped. I'm never shopped. Well, he probably did this. Maybe when you were young, I don't know.

No, I've never shopped. But Dan is the man that Ms. Hayes. We have a shopper. We have a shopper for things. Ms. Kay, you know, essentials. That's right. You know, cornmeal, that flour. You named essentials, and the first thing on the list was cornmeal.

Well. That's when you know there's a lot of different. Fish can be. I get it. It can be brawled or sticking. But you kept it. We got fish coming all the time. You know what's funny?

As Willie said, I went to the grocery store the other day and bought the essentials. And I thought, I was fixed to say, oh, did you find toilet paper? And he went cornmeal and peanut oil. That was the two. I was like, that's it? He's like, that's all about. The boy, he learned well. He did.

Let's take a quick break. We'll jump back in. Yeah. And you can make your own corn meal because you can grow corn and then grind it up. So, I mean, you know, so I'm saying, it's everything. think of it, but people that live in a large city, which we've been saying for years, that's not a good idea. I mean, we go sometimes we have to, but that just seems like a bad idea.

I mean, we got a big country. It's not good. It's not healthy. You have no way. This happens to you and you're in New York City. You talk about Dubai. Thomas Jefferson's the whole line on it. Jefferson said, I think, as long as Americans will be happy, as long as they have

open lands to go to. at that point they just thought it never ended. But he said, but if they ever get piled on top of one another, as these European cities where we came from, he said they'll become as corrupt as we are. But he had a point. He had a great point. But I think it's more about they're just confined.

Because you look at where's the worst place in Louisiana or New Orleans. Because a lot of them's like, hey, we're just going to get drunk, you know, to heck with the virus. Then all of a sudden, you know, the one guy, got it, five got it, 20, 30, 100, 150. All of our casualties have been that one area, yeah. Yeah, they're all combined. But on the germs issue, I mean, I think back to when I was a kid, I mean, we had

cow paddy fights and, you know, I look back at that thing. We were wormed. We were wormed every year. I mean, I've been in swamps before. That tells you something right there. I've gone frog hunting before where I got home and I'm like, what is this? And I look in the mirror and I actually have a leech. connected to my body

that I had to get my wife the power to be. I think I mentioned it one time on this podcast. I might not have. But they researched the polio virus that came through when I was a boy. That was the big deal. Not cancer. It was polio.

And they found, as they researched it later, when they finally beat it, beat it back. They found that rural children, rural people never got it. The ones that played in the dirt and they had developed, they finally decided that they had developed

a natural immune system to things like polio. I think one of the problems on this coronavirus while I'm there and someone may, you know, they did look at me and say, yeah, I bet he knows what he's talking about. I'm just saying every doctor that I've talked to

and some we've converted and I've run into one every once in a while, you know, the old prostate trouble. But I ask them, and every one of them said the same thing when I ask them, do you think that too many antibiotics are being dispensed? Do you all dispense too much of it? And everyone I've asked that said, no doubt about it. What I'm saying, Al, is during a pandemic or when the next one comes, when this one is over and whatever, you say, well, if you're already dispensing too many

antibiotics, it's lowering the immune system of the population so that when a viral infection comes along, more people are susceptible. Look, you got a little cough, you have a cold. Well, you don't have to give them antibiotics. Look, it'll be over in three or four days without any complications. Most people get on past the common cold. They get over the flu. Most people do. But like for sniffles, a little bit of sniffle, they'll give us some antibiotics. I just think that might be one of the reasons our immune system is not as good as it could be. I make you're right. Look, right now as we're living through all this in Louisiana because we have a ton of pine

trees here in North Louisiana, I mean, every one of our trucks, how much pine pollen is I mean, it's an inch deep. Oh, yeah. My eyes were kind of matted up last night. So I'm saying we walk around. So that's going through your system. Of course, you're going to get you're clogged up, you coughing and wheezing and then everybody's Oh, they got corona.

No, we just got pine pollen. This much on my truck. You know, and so. My back porch, you know, we put, we have to put sheets over all the furniture. Because you can't get it out of there. Well, yeah. If you don't do that, you'll be cleaning that. I mean, you might as well just throw it away and start over.

I've thrown it away before. It's, to try to explain that to people, when people say, oh, yeah, my allergies. I bet people in Georgia know about it because they have a lot of pine trees there. I guess it's the same thing. I don't know. But you look at a pine tree. right now and it's just angry looking. It's just those yellow pods

are just, and you know it's just raining. It seems worse this year for some reason. I don't, Wesley. I have to turn my windshield wipers on to remove it off the windshield. I hose my whole truck down today. Look, look at my shoe. If I take my shoe off, you see, look, that's pollen. That's just from walking around.

That's from walking around. You've given a little update on how the coronavirus works. It's like little particles of mist. It's like a mist. Because you can't see it except where it congregates. Yeah, you don't see the pollen falling. But that's where it goes. On surfaces, well, if that were the coronavirus on that shoe or on a hard table or on a piece of stainless steel, it stays there three or four or five days. Well, you come along and lay something, touch it. Well, then you take your hand. There we go. There is. go.

So, but, but you wouldn't even know what was there. Wouldn't know what it was there? Microbes. So we're going to do a few questions today from you guys. You sent us a lot of great questions. And a lot of our biblical discussion comes out of things that you're asking us, because we basically want to speak into what, you know, we've been studying John, and we'll continue to do that.

But sometimes we like to just dive into what you guys are thinking. And a couple of lighter questions we'll start with today, Jay's. And I thought this would be interesting because you can, tell the story about Mountain Man. So Bob, since the question said, my question is about Mountain Man. I never hear anything about him since the TV

series ended, which why would you? Hope all is well. That wasn't very nice. What I'm just saying, I mean, Mountain Man is a guy living on Shoney Lake. He's before the show. I mean, after the show, he's not going a whole lot of stuff. He does have, Bob, he does

have a radio show that goes out. It's every Tuesday. because I've been on it a couple of times. Really? He's asked him to do it several times. I've done a couple times. I've never done it. But he has a wide internet audience.

So I just, I don't know how to tell you how to find it, but you can Google it. But Mountain Man is doing well. I read into him fairly recently. And he still does a lot of appearances. Mountain Man's kind of the, he's kind of the, I call him he's the boat and gun show circuit. You know, he does a lot of those kind of things. Mountain man. He was Willie's

air conditioning. Yeah, he's like an electrician. Yeah, air conditioning repairment. So that's how we kind of came about. Willie's like, we've got to get this guy on the show because he really talks. Well, I remember him, Willie's saying, look, this guy who just fixed my air conditioner, y'all need to put the camera on him.

And they said, what's his name? And he said, I think it's Mountain Man. And they were like, for real? like I mean that's all I know him well you study with him that's an incredible story yeah that was I was thinking

because he fixed Willie's Eric Dish he started being on the I think this was before the show though when I started to study you may have he was on the first season the first episode he was on I still remember it was the garage sale episode he bought the stuff squirrel

well I just mean I remember him coming to me and he said he had some questions about, you know, the Bible, you know. And I said, well, look, here's what we'll do. I said, you come by Duck Commander, because every time somebody would ask me about a Bible study or, you know, I would say come to Duck Commander because I had to sit there for eight hours a day, building Duck Cause, and I actually welcomed people coming and sitting there.

We did that for years when we were down here. people show up. I'm like, have a seat because, I mean, you're trying to break up the monotony. Yeah. Well, Mountain Man showed up a Duck Commander, and he like never left. He became a fixture. This is before we were filming. I'm, you know, 100% sure now that I'm reflecting back on it. So basically, every day he would ask a question. He would tell some stories, you know, but then we would have a biblical, you know, discussion. And I shared Jesus with him. He kind of got it. into his past and, you know, all the, you know, it's like everybody else, all the messes that have occurred and the broken relationships.

I remember it went on for months. It months, but, you know, now it doesn't surprise me because everything that happens is slow. You know, until this moment, he left one day because he was real quiet, you know. I mean, I went through Jesus again, because I literally went over the same thing. over and over and on me that went on for almost a year. And he called me, which was weird, because I didn't even know he had a cell phone, and I sure as heck don't remember giving him my number. But he called me, and it said Mountain Man. So I was like, did he get my phone and put his number, which I think he did? He put his number in my phone and put Mountain Man.

And then he called me because I had no activity with him. So I remember looking like, I didn't put his name in my phone, but he did, which was fine. I have a pass code now, so that'll never happen again. Oh, Mountain Man's, hang on, hold that wood led you, vis, let's take a quick break. So he calls me up, and I'm like, hey, and he doesn't say anything, which is unusual. No guttural utterances. I said, Mountain Man, did you put your name in my phone? That's what I was getting down about.

I thought he's playing a trick. And he said, I need you to baptize me right now. That's what he said. And I said, when you confronted him about the phone, that was his ass. I said,

well, where are you at? He said, I'm in your backyard at your pool. Man, I'm not even home. So I called missing. I'm like,

don't panic, but Mountain Man's in our back. I said he's broken up because then he just... Oh, so he was like emotional then. Oh, then he just lost it. And which was really kind of just moving. It's powerful, yeah. I'll tell you what, he's been here ever since.

Oh, yeah. So it was a really beautiful moment, you know, for two such ugly guys as me and Mount Man and we invite a few friends back there. And I mean, I'm telling you, it was so shocking because he never gave any impression of that he wasn't saved or that he would just ask questions i would share you just have a conversation that's really really it i i wasn't trying to you know in quotations converting what jace is trying to say is mountain man is a lot smarter than he sounds yeah he is and look so so i back then before i came to the show so i was still working at the church and so somebody handed him a note and said

mountain man got baptized this week you know because he had been coming to watch vry road so i got up to announce. I said, hey, great news, everybody. And then I realized when I look down the thing, I have no idea what his real name is. I mean, I'm about to announce it to the church. Right. So I said, so look, this is, you know, there's 800 people here. It's a Sunday morning. I said, hey, good news, everybody. Mountain Man got baptized. Everybody claps, you know. So I said, Mount Man, are you here? And he said, eh. And he was in the back. And he stood up. And I said, what's your name? Because I know it's not Mountain Man. And he went, Tim Garardi from the back. He just hollered it out across.

I wouldn't have known. Everybody just busted out. That's your name? His name is Tim Garardi. I learned something today. Yeah, and he has a book called, which you need to check out. It's very funny.

It's almost like a little small gift book. You wrote a book? Yeah, it's called Keeping a Slow Profile. That's the name of it. Who knew? But it's funny. He's got some funny. I learned a lot about Madman, I didn't know.

A few months ago, I was at an event, and, you know, there's a few hundred people there. And they said, we got somebody to introduce you, You know, so I'm backstage and I hear, well, and I thought, that sounds like Mountain Man. I looked out there and I thought, they have a Mountain Man look-a-like. Because I didn't know he was going to be there. I mean, we were way off somewhere, you know. And he was like.

And it was Mountain Man. They did the same thing with me inside, Minnesota. And look, he, after about three minutes, I just leaned my head out and said, hey, that's good. Everybody laughed. Oh, yeah. Because he was like, well. let me tell you about old jays but i mean it was three minutes just to get to that point and i'm like are you going to introduce me or roast me because this is you know it's like a slow roast

you know that's what i said about his book i said you know it's a small book it's probably about a 45 minute read if you just read it i said but if you read it as mountain man speaks it it'll take you half a day you know just to read the whole book so anyway he's doing well uh which is all good uh one more i'll someone says They asked about my ink work, which I guess is now the common term for tattoos. And I don't know if they've just seen it or if I mentioned at some point in the show. So I have two tattoos that I got at 16. I was 16 years old.

So what was your thinking? I think I'll have someone indebtably right in ink owl on my fore. Well, it's worse. On the top side. It's worse than that, Dad. So three of us got together heavily drinking back in that. to have 16 years old, you know, a bottle of something. And so Greg Eponet, our old pal, had self, he'd given himself a tattoo,

took two needles and tied together with thread, and then he's dipping them in ink and gave himself a tattoo. So me and Bubba, my friend, thought it's a great idea after heavily drinking to let him then give us tattoos. Oh, so Greg gave you that? That's Greg Eponet's work right there. And look, it's prison quality. Here's my other one.

I'm so proud of it. What is it, mother? No. No. It's the... Well, because you were dating a girl. I was dating a girl named Donna. And that's supposed to be a D.

But I sense that it's zero, which was the brain cells that went into something like that. It's beginning to all come together for them because I said, what kind of thinking did you have? It was no thinking. It was stupidity. It was called inebriated thinking. Which was kind of funny now that everybody's getting tattoos, like, I mean, I just met a guy in Maryland that's like, sleeves, his legs. I mean, he's got, I mean, I was like, dude, I don't, I can't, I'd have to read you.

It'd take me a week to. I kind of don't mind it because it's pretty good camouflage, you know. You could get it on your face. Then you wouldn't have any more face paint because now that's the thing. Some people do it. Oh, yeah, they're putting it on their face. Yeah, I did a lot of stupid things. I was a very sinful man.

But getting a tattoo never crossed my mind. Well, it's something I regretted. And then some people say, well, you know, you should get something to cover it up. because now everybody's getting tattoos, but I thought, you know, it was stupid for me to first go around. So I just, I'm done with that. I'm waiting until it gets cheap and easy to take it out. But so far, amazingly, because I've looked into it,

it's expensive to get them removed. And it takes you like all these laser treatments over a long period of time. It's not worth it. So it's not worth it. So I'm just like, you know what? It was a dumb move. I used to do it when I'd speak to youth groups and stuff. I'd show them that about it.

This is why you don't drink. at 16 to get drunk and make stupid decisions. So anyway, but I'm not down on people in inkwork. Apparently people love it now. I mean, to me, your son, Reed is, I mean, he's got tons. Tons. And Alex has them, too. I don't really have a thing with it.

Some people like, you know, there's a verse somewhere and I don't know, he's equal or someplace where it was kind of negative. And so people are like, it's not godly, you know. I don't think there's anything wrong with it whatsoever. I mean, if that was the old law, that that that that has been done and it's over and the good thing is I'll always know who I am if I ever get dementia I got the name right there plus that reminds you don't don't be stupid anymore that's right that's right I look at like some people today bottles of tequila some people today they

they'll do like the gospel scent signal you know the arrow coming down and the cross and they'll have the tomb and they're going back up and so I'm like you You know what? Okay. So let's take a quick break. And then we've got one question, which actually can lead to something a little bit more serious that we'll get to a minute. So Sheila, that was Tommy, by the way.

Well, I wanted to say that, you know, I don't know if I've shared this before, but my most disturbing encounter was a woman. I was at an academy store promotion. This is like year one of Dynastil. When was it? Yeah, 2012. So 2012, I get there too early, so I see the academy, you know, but I'm there too early.

I drove. So I'll pull on the other side of the parking lot to wait until the lot, you know, at the time. It's like 12.30 was when I was supposed to be there, and I get there at 12. Well, this whole beat-up Volkswagen pulls up, and a couple gets out with a kid, so I'm assuming married couple, and the girl is just screaming. I'm your biggest fan. I rode down my window. How are you doing? You know, I'm your biggest fan.

I was like, really? Because, you know, I'm like, this is not my time yet. I'll be over there in just a second. You know, I think it was laughing yet. Was it where it was that? And she's like, not. Like Jesus and John, too. My time has not yet come.

She's like, no, I am. And I went, yeah. And when she did that, she said, no, I'll show you. And so she started unbuttoning her shorts. She had a little kind of tank top of. pulling shorts and I was thinking, well, where's this going? She peels down the shorts and underwear and there's a fresh tattoo of the duck commander logo in a place that she shouldn't be showing me.

So I look immediately at what I think is her husband thinking, this has gotten awkward. And he looked, he did this. Help me. He did this. He went, an affirmative nod. I look over at the kid and he's like... Got his hands over his eyes. He's got his hands over his eyes.

We're in the middle of a shopping center parking lot. And she's pulling her pants down. Filled her pants down and showed me a tattoo when you were talking about the tattoos. And I thought, how under the influence were you... I mean, to tattoo the duck commander insignia on a place that only your husband should see, but now I'm in that camp.

You can't unsee it. Here's what's funny. One walked up to me and started putting on a pound down. I said, easy, easy. I said, you're getting down in a no man's land. And she said, I said, what are you doing? And, of course, there was some dude dead with her. And she said, will you sign here?

No, I would have said, absolutely not. I said, so you want me to autograph the lower part of your tummy? She said, yeah, I said, I don't know about that. Well, that's vague. She said, you've got to be more defensive. She looks at her boyfriend or husband, whoever it was. She said, the reason I want you to do that is I'm pregnant. And I just, I know you're a Jesus man.

So I just thought it might happen my pregnancy. And I said, well, since you did it, didn't you? Yeah. Well, you've tried to rationalize it. It was one of these deals like this. All the things you've done for the almighty. But my name, a year goes by, I'm at the same event. And some woman walks up with a child in her arms.

She said, you remember me? And I said, it seemed like I've seen you. Yeah, I didn't know who she was. And she said, I was the one you said. It all came out great. And I thought, well, good for you. There you go. Here, sign my child's right now.

She showed me her child, and, you know, he was a healthy child. I wouldn't have told Ms. Kay that story. I don't think I ever did tell her that. What's funny is I'm in the event, you know, and 100 people in. And here's this girl again. She's like, now she stood in line. And she's like, remember me? And I was like, yeah, I will never forget you.

I can't not. That was classified and disturbed fans. But you were talking about the tattoos. I just thought I'd share one of my weird. So what other questions you got there? Well, I got time probably for one question. And this one I thought was funny. But then also another person, Sheila, so she loved her podcast.

She said, we know Jace was smart when it came to women, which I laughed when I read that because I thought, why would she think that? But then I think she meant because you talked about only dating Missy or only, you know, that you admit. I think that's what she meant. And then she said, did Willie ever have problems with women, which I thought was pretty funny? I don't know. I mean, he had a couple of girlfriends, but I don't think. I think Willie kind of, for the most part, didn't have any major property.

He certainly married, he certainly way out kicked the coverage by Mary and Corey for him. I mean, Corey's great. She's been, I mean, together they're amazing, but she's a tremendous woman. So I don't know that he did. I thought it was funny. But then Cole from Minnesota said, and I thought this was good, Jay's had it, how did you motivate yourself to wait on God to bring? you, your wife, and what do you need in your life to prepare for a healthy relationship?

Which I thought was pretty good question. That's a good question. I think the number one thing I did in high school, because, you know, I didn't look like this. I was athletic. You know, I had girls' interest. It is what my point is. You look normal, yeah. But every time I sensed any kind of darkness or any kind of, like if they ever used a four-letter word,

oh I'm out I am just that was the biggest thing I did was you know because I rearranged my schedule one year when I was a junior

because I saw this girl you know how you have love at first sight and I thought that's the girl I'm going to marry I mean she just looked like a goddess

so I rearranged my schedule I dropped French because I was failing anyway and I'll shock I followed her stalked her a little bit and figured out her

schedule and I realized she was in like a home act class. And so I changed my schedule to get in that class. So I walked in and the seat, the only seat open was right behind her. And I thought, this is a sign from God. I've already made the decision. I've rearranged my schedule. You drop.

You love her and you're ready to spend the rest of your life with her. I am in love with this woman. But she doesn't know this. She's never even met. If only you had known French, you could have said so. something romantic. Let's take one last break and finish the story. So I immediately

make my move. I don't wait. I love you and will you marry me? No, I just said I said of all the seats to be open behind the best looking woman in here. That's what I said. That was your line. Pretty good line. Not bad. And she turned around

and kind of said something funny and then about the 10th word she dropped an F-bomb, not in a negative way. And you're thinking, you're thinking, surely not. I thought, well, there went that dream. Apparently, I'm no longer in love with that one. And then I had...

She was using French. That was the problem. If you had only not to see, that was her version. Then I had these gut out that class. And look, then I looked around. I was the only guy in there. I mean, you're talking about a dumb stunt. That's the equivalent to getting a tattoo. All over a girl that I didn't know.

And now you had to sit behind her the whole semester. And just foul-mouthed, on drugs, just a thug. She just looked awesome. But the rest of her was a nightmare. And trust me, I bet she didn't look that way for long. You know, when you're 16, you can get away with a lot. So she didn't say excuse my friends either, did she? So what I did was I just, I quit trying to, number one, that taught me

quit looking at the outward. I mean, I'm just not worried about that. And, you know, about the time I said I'm done with girls, because they just, I couldn't find one that I thought was spiritually minded. And about the time I said, I'm done with them. That's what I met Missy. Yeah. Because I was dating a girl who was. When did you decide you loved her?

Well, that was tricky because. So it wasn't loved at first sight. No, because I just thought this won't work. because I thought she looks way too good she's way too I looked at her as kind of yuppie-fied because she went to a private school She got a little yuppishness about her

Yeah and they were kind of uppity like And I just thought she's this ain't going to work She's way too good looking for this to work That's what I was thinking Basically she's out of your league That's what I thought I thought this won't work So I would say it took about a year and a half

And actually You'll remember this we had been dating a year and a half know I love, you know, and all the, I mean, you know, we kissed a little bit but it just wasn't that physical and there was no mention of love for a year and a half.

But we were out a camp out which is right across from our property, the dog, we were on Franklin's property. We had had a house church camp out. I remember that camp out. Yeah, we were out there in the trees. We used to do unfairly recently. We sang songs, you know,

everybody brought sleeping bags. It got real cold, you know. And so we were snuggling under the sleeping bag. You know, no, no, I've already, I've been real clear. I waited until I got married for there was any kind of things going on. But, and so I think I asked her if she loved me. I think that's how it got started. At the camp out.

Yeah. So you didn't say I love you. No. You asked her first. I said, do you love me? and she said boy you were really putting it out there I mean if you get a no there

I thought it was a profound question she said I love you and she said do you love me and I went yep that's when that was the day she got mad though so then I thought well maybe not because she got mad because all I said was yep she said well say it I said I said yep

that's why he didn't say it asked her that day. I know. She said it, that was a dad move there. To this day, Miss Kay asked me that all the time. Oh,

she wants you to say it. Do you love me? She's want me to say it. Phil, they want, I think at 70 hour old you are, you need to say it at this point.

You need to go, after we finish it, you didn't walk down there and say, Kay, I love you. Do it on camera. I think I've said it more in the last couple of years.

I'm getting into my 70s now. I thought, you know, by the time I get to be in my 80s, if I don't start telling her, Lever at some point. But Phil, you need to do it unprovoked.

Don't wait until she asked you. You know, you just need to do it. When she stood over my bed that time, uh-oh. And I opened one eye, and she was just standing there, and I said, I was like, how's it going?

What do you want? I mean, I didn't say what are you want. I just thought, kind of like, why are you standing over me? And she said, do you love me? And I said, yeah. And she said to me, write it down. And I said, write it down in blood.

I said, I said, write it down. I said, I'll do that. So I just turned it over and went to sleep. The next morning I get up and there's a piece of paper, a blank sheet of paper and a pen. Ready for you to write down what you said. I had my coffee in my hand. I looked down. I said, that woman.

She's serious She's right at that So I wrote down on a piece of paper Miss Kay I love you I always have I always will I signed my name And I set it up on the head of the chair While I came back

It's gone I went out running my nets Or whatever came back It was gone This was way back Way way back Look I looked that evening When I came in to get in my bed

Take me a nap I looked over there She had taped it On her side of the bed To the bed rail on the back on the back. She had taped that. It's still there. I saw it recently. It's kind of tearing now and yellowed. I'm like, so that's when I came to a strong, studded opinion and a conclusion that when God made women out, he made very strange creatures. Well, tell him you love them.

That he did. That's all I have to say. Tell him you love them. We got to go. Yeah, we got to go. Good question to end on. Thank you, Cole, for that. And all the other questions.
