Okay, can we talk about how exhausting it is to constantly have to come up with ideas for dinner
and half the time I'm stuck figuring out late in the day with zero plan.
That used to be me all the time until I found hungry route.
It plans my meals, builds my grocery list, and delivers everything straight to my door.
So I'm not scrambling at the last minute or making an emergency grocery run.
And it actually gets smarter the more that you use it.
It learns what you like and what you don't like and it keeps tailoring deliveries to fit your lifestyle.
But Hunger Route isn't just meals, it's groceries too.
so I'm getting snacks, protein, smoothies, even salads, with over 1,000 grocery items.
Hungerroot has everything I need and more.
And the meal ideas that they provide are quick.
A lot of them are less than 15 minutes to get ready, which is such a lifesaver for busy nights.
Plus, they only source the highest quality ingredients like organic produce, seafood without antibiotics or hormones,
and they screen out over 200 common additives, which I love because if you are a mom that's out there looking at all the additives and, you know, if you have any kid out,
It is so hard to find stuff that is clean.
And so the fact that they do this for you is amazing.
You're going to love Hungaroo as much as we do.

What's up, Will, that's good fam.
I hope you're having a great week, but it's about to get so much better because we have
Two of everyone's favorite guests back on the podcast.
We have my mom.
We have Christian.
I don't know where that noise came from,
but we are talking all things Duck Dynasty.
Is that like a high-pitched drum roll?
Yeah, it was supposed to be a drum roll,
but it came after I announced your name,
so it shouldn't make much sense.
Speaking of Doug Dynasty,
we have the new biggest Doug Dynasty fan in our house,
who, Heidi James.
Oh, my God.
goodness that's so cute I heard y'all been watching lately yes we started from season one episode one
because when we were watching the revival um on amazon it like rolled right into yeah like
that's fun yeah and it went back into just like the first episode and we were cracking up really
oh my gosh first of all I don't remember it like that like yeah you had an epiphany I had an epiphany
I was thinking about you know how people say like that's not the flex you think
think it is.
And y'all might not.
Wait.
Are y'all in this culture?
All I know is weird.
I've heard that before.
All I know is weird.
So like when you post something and you're like bragging about something.
You should have said weird flex but okay to me before.
He's used that one.
I don't think I've ever told you that.
All your flexes are pretty cool.
I thank you.
He's redeeming that.
He has some weird flexes.
I do have weird flexes.
What was my weird flex the other day?
Oh.
Oh, this was okay.
This is impressive.
Maybe quasi inappropriate, but.
It's not inappropriate.
It's only inappropriate because you said it was inappropriate.
I was meeting this genuinely.
Okay, we need to know what is this.
She thought, you hyped it up way too much.
This is not a flex.
Every single time I'm playing cards and people always get confused.
Like, is that a six or a nine?
I always know what it is.
I always know it's a six.
I'm like, that's not cool.
I don't know.
It's a classic word flex, but okay.
Thank you.
I was like, that's not cool.
I was like, we're playing cards
I'm like, how can y'all not tell that is a sick?
You said it so seriously.
You were like, I can literally tell.
And I'm like, okay?
I'm like, that's nothing to brag about.
Hey, she's four.
No, like, it was like straight confidence.
Like, that was cool.
Well, she does claim dyslexia.
So maybe that is something that she's like proud of because you can tell a six or a nine.
That's a.
funny one.
It led to like a disagreement.
That is a weird flight, but okay.
Well, because I was like, because you are the
worst at it. You always think it's a nine when
it's a six. And I'm like, how can you not tell?
And then everyone at the table's debating
and the whole time I'm like, I can, I know.
I know what it is. It's a six.
Okay. But then that led to an argument in what way?
Not even an argument.
It was just a disagreement.
It was just a disagreement.
It wasn't an argument.
It wasn't just, you said a weird flight.
It was a weird flex, but okay, but you were like, that's not impressive.
And I was like, it is impressive.
It is impressive if everyone else struggles with it and you don't.
When everyone's like, wait, is it?
And then you have to check and where's the line?
I'm like, I've known this whole time.
The minute the car was down, I knew it was a six.
You were comparing it to something that I do.
No, you said something that was a weird flex, but okay.
And you didn't think it was a weird flex.
You were like, that is impressive.
I was like, no, that's just as weird.
Okay, what was that?
Oh, he said, every time I love.
let someone go in front of me, like if someone walks in front of me. No, no. He said every time when
someone lets me walk in front of them whenever they're driving and they're letting the passenger
have the right way, I always wave at them. He said, every time I wave and I'd say, thank you.
I wasn't like flexing about that. I don't like it when you like come to an abrupt stop and the person
walks and they don't acknowledge you stopping them. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I always do a
little wipe too. That is. I think that is very courteous. I do it if I'm driving. Yes. I do it
If I'm driving and if I'm walking, if I'm walking across the street and someone stops, I always wait.
It's very kind.
I think that's awesome.
It was more so just like it was as if like I am a gold star human.
But I wasn't like flexing about that.
You cannot compare your six nine.
Okay.
Those are good ones.
Those are good ones.
Speaking of on trend, honey has been going six, seven.
And I'm like, how did that make it to a four year old girl?
Wow.
Trends are crazy.
Back to the point.
So when you post something that you're kind of bragging about and then people say like that might not be the flex you think it is.
Like I'm saying I can always tell a six and a nine and Christian's like that's not the flex you think it is.
Okay.
So not in a negative way because I know when I say like, oh, I'm from Doug Dynasty, people are like, oh, that's so cool.
Like people love that because people love Duck Dynasty.
It's just that in my head when I said that, I thought people had a perspective of Doug Dynasty that was different than the one that they might have.
I'm thinking they're thinking like, oh, sweet, faith-based family.
like, you know, praying around a table.
I'm not thinking dissecting a squirrel.
I'm not thinking the anatomy of a crawfish.
I'm not thinking like cleaning a frog.
Yes.
And I was watching that and I was like, oh.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
When people think of the Robertson family, they see.
Okay.
That was more the epiphany I was having.
Well, I do think that because I always say, I think people related to us and related to our family,
which I think that is true too.
But then when you watch from the old episodes,
like, oh, no, they actually also were watching us because they thought we were, like, crazy.
I thought they were laughing with us.
But I think they were laughing at us.
I think they're laughing with us.
But I do think they think that, like, we're odd.
I mean, you're a Memo.
M. M.a.
K.
Literally carried a squirrel in her carry-on bag to New York City.
Yes.
Like, that's not normal.
Yes.
But to us, because when you're in it, it feels normal.
Yes.
I really didn't think they were that weird.
Yeah.
Growing up.
I feel the same way.
Because I was like, that's just what they do.
It's when you're in it.
And you're in it.
It feels normal.
And now like, because people are, oh, this generation's different.
And I'm like, we're really not that different.
I was like, oh, yeah, we are really different.
Yeah.
Like, that's different.
Okay.
So it's just been hilarious.
Like watching them back.
Because by the time, you know, people feel in the later years of his,
life was like so on mission for the gospel. So like I saw him in the context of like preaching a lot,
podcasting a lot. I also never went hunting. So like I didn't see that side. I saw like just like
the passionate believer side. And so just watching him go after these beavers and like shoot up the radio
that they were listening to sighs sleep sounds or bathtub sounds on. Like just like crazy. It just was
such a different perspective. And it was so.
hilarious. So we've been loving to watch and honey the other night. So this is just kind of funny,
but when I read books to them at night, they asked me to do it in a British accent. So I give it
my best. But the other night, they were like, will you read it in Uncle Tsai's voice? And so I gave
it my best shot and my voice was literally hoarse. That is so funny. You gave it a good shot.
Well, I will say, going back, Dad and I have watched sometimes, like it will just catch it on TV
from the old episodes. And we're like, that was actually really funny. You know,
No.
Not to flex, but it was actually really funny.
It was funny.
The world agrees.
That's not a weird.
Like, that's a good flex.
Okay, okay.
Also, on TikTok, one of my videos that recently got a lot of attention was when I said on the podcast
recently that dad went by Jess most of his life.
You wouldn't know that.
And people don't know that.
Yeah, that was crazy.
So should we tell that story?
Yeah, you married Jess.
I married a Jess.
Yes.
So his name is Willie Jess.
When you married him, he was still growing by Jess?
Yes.
He was just when I was little.
I thought it was before that.
Okay, I didn't know.
On his 30th birthday, that was when I officially, like, I put Willie on his birthday invitation.
And I was like, we're officially calling him Willie.
Like, I had to, it was hard for me because I called him Jess all growing up.
So for people who don't know this, his name is Willie Jess.
That's his full name.
His mom always called him Jess.
His dad always called him Willie or Will.
Phil actually called him Will.
will a lot too.
Granny called him Willie Jess.
So he kind of went by all the names, but mostly like for us in the youth group, you know,
we are all in that school or whatever, he went by Jess.
Then when we went to college, you know how in college your first name, you know,
it's a confusing thing because the professors will call you by your first name.
So he kind of did both.
Like he said he had one professor that would call him Willie in one class and Jess in the other.
He didn't realize it was the same person, you know.
So it was, he kind of went back and forth in college a lot.
little bit, but still, I called him Jess. I never called him Willie.
Like your journals are to Jess. Oh, yeah, absolutely. And so then, um, whenever he came back to
work with the family business, that's whenever he was like officially like, okay, when he was
right around 30, he came back to work for Duck Commander. How was you when I was born? Um, 25.
I was saying I was around eight. I thought, but maybe I was like five, maybe six. I remember
being at ski school and I wrote
Jess and then I was like can I change it
to Willie? To Willie? Aw, sweet.
I remember that but I would have been in ski school at six
Yeah. Yeah, probably like six.
Because Jace and Jess are they're so similar.
Well, that's what happened. It was Jason.
Wait, Jace, Jess and Jep.
Yes, when he came back to work for the family business
when he was like right around 30
it was Jace, Jess, and Jep
and it was just confusing and he was
just like, I want to go about Willie.
And I was like, I don't think I can do that.
I mean, I've called you Jess my whole life.
I'm married Jess.
I don't even know.
But then it...
I don't know about you, but staying hydrated can feel like just one more thing on the to-do list.
And honestly, I used to just grab whatever is convenient, which usually means something full of sugar or just plain water that really wasn't cutting it.
But once I started using element, I realized hydration is kind of everything.
Your energy, your mood, your focus, it's all connected.
And if you're electrolyzer off, you really feel.
it. I'm talking headaches, muscle cramps, fatigue, that afternoon slump, all the things. But what I love
about element is that it's a zero-sugar electrolyte drink mix that actually gives your body what it needs
without the junk. And I love that it comes in both stick packs. And now they have these 12-ounce
sparkling cans, which are pretty much perfect for those in-between moments during the day, like school
drop-offs, running errands, or just needing a little afternoon pick-me-up. And the flavors are so good.
They have pineapple, lemonade, black cherry, and orange salt.
actually refreshing and not fake sweet, which is great.
I really do sometimes just lack on the hydration.
And Christian's always like, have you drinking an element?
Have you had your hydration?
And as soon as he gets me one, it changes my whole mood.
So I'm telling you this thing works.
So if you want to level up your hydration and just feel better all around, I got you.

It was awkward because he would be working
and people would call him Willie and I'd say Jess
and they'd be like, who's Jess?
And so I was like, okay, I have to do this.
So on his 30th birthday, I sent out an invitation
and I put Willie and I think I wrote a little poem or something
and I was like, we are calling him officially Willie
from this point on.
I need to go find that.
And now I don't have a J had a look different.
That would be weird.
Yeah, that is so funny.
My grandmother,
Mom-O-Joe.
Yeah, she still can't just call him Willie.
She says Willie Jess.
Yeah.
Well, she also calls Christian Chris.
Yeah, I don't know if that's being sweet or if she just forgets my name's true.
No.
I think she thinks it's her name probably.
Yeah, she calls you Chris.
I think it's so cute.
No, I love it, but I just, I was never sure.
So cute.
I love it.
So every once in a while we'll run into somebody from Willie's, like, younger years that will call him Jess.
And it's like, I feel like, I feel like.
Like they are like very, very much like they want to say Jess because they're like, that's how we knew you back when.
It shows them. Like, I knew. When people come up to me, I was like, I knew your daddy, Jess. I'm like, you knew him in high school.
Yeah, exactly. Which this is very inspiring because live original, we've always gone back, LO, LO everything.
And now people have been calling it low. So I've been trying to meet them where they're at.
It is so hard to say low all the time because when you've called something LO for so long, even though it's just like a simple change to low.
but for you like willie to just is it's quite a different so it's impressive it's very biblical
lots of people in the bible i know well that's what jp and i were talking about on the podcast because
he was wanting to start going by jonathan right and i was like you can do it he's like i don't know
i was like no you can do it willie was jess and so it's funny anyways i had to say that so
um speaking of birthdays we were talking about i want to talk to you all about the season two's out right now
It's coming out on A&E, but you can also watch it on Prime.
It will eventually be on Hulu.
But a lot of people are asking what our favorite moment of filming was or what are some funny
behind-the-scenes moments.
And I have to say, Dad's Birthday Party, the whole cake situation, for those who haven't
seen, we decided that we were all going to make a cake for Dad for his birthday.
And it was kind of like a competition who could make the best cake.
Not going to name any names, but a lot of people didn't believe in me, okay?
A lot of people who didn't think I had it in me.
And to be honest, I didn't really believe that much of myself.
But I know Dad and I know what he likes and we're so similar.
So similar, in fact, just the other day I had a party.
Dad was making pizzas for everybody.
He said, does anybody have any request?
And I said, could you do pepperoni, sausage, sweet jalapinos, and mushrooms?
And he said, that is exactly what I want.
And so we shared a pizza.
That's funny.
We're very similar in what we like and the people we are.
And so I knew I could nail the flavors based on what he likes.
However, I don't have much skill when it comes to baking or just, like, creating art like my sisters do.
So they crush it on their cakes.
I crushed the flavor profile.
The cake was, as Bella said, ugly.
And I won.
Well, here's the thing.
My sisters, you might think it was just for TV.
Like, they were mad at me.
But they were legitimate.
Like, it was awkward.
We talked about it as a family for a while.
And then we couldn't talk about it.
Yeah, that's what, yeah, exactly.
We talked about it, but then it became like such a thing that, like, it was, they can't even talk about.
I always say, after that, I was like, whoa, I knew our guys were competitive, but our girls are competitive in the family.
The girls seem more competitive than the guys.
I don't know about more.
I mean, sometimes.
I didn't know how competitive, and now I'm seeing all Bella's interviews and Bella's cut throats.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
Who is still talking about the competition, though?
That's true.
The girls.
Ella and Mary Kate and Rebecca.
That's true.
Me and Jacob are so talking about pickleball.
We're not.
That's true.
Y'all are still rehashing.
Me, I try to avoid it.
I literally.
Sadie got to the point where she was like,
I kind of wish I had no one.
I was like, no, that's not.
I did wish I had one.
You should be proud of your win.
Every time you bake a cake, I think it's just,
it's like a, it'll take you back to that feeling
of inadequate but also I'm the winner.
That's on them.
They need to get over it.
They lost.
You won.
That's the way it is.
I will say it was surprising.
This is why it's surprising about you.
I get it.
No, here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
Sadie was my child and teenager that I used to say, like she wouldn't even make a sandwich.
That girl did not cook in our house at all.
Like she did not.
If she was hungry, she figured out a way to get someone.
to get food. She did not. I went with aunts and uncles. If y'all weren't cooking, I was like,
anybody on the street going somewhere tonight? She did. She did not make a sandwich in her life.
But now, you are a really good cook. Like, she has become a really good cook, not just baking,
but everything else. You cook for the rest of the night, and it was so good. Actually, last week,
I cooked for y'all, John Lincoln, Mary Kate, and Will and Abby. And I can't believe that.
I'm so impressed by that. I can't believe that. But that also kind of comes out of competition a little bit,
Because one night, okay, well, Bella is a really good cook.
And I love that Bella's a good cook.
I love whenever she invites us over.
But Bella doesn't often, you know, say, hey, I'm going to cook for everybody.
But when she does, it is, like, top tier.
So Christian would always be asking me, like, do you think Bella's going to cook tonight?
Do you think Bella's going to cook tonight?
And I'd be like, oh, my gosh.
I would not say always.
This is a little embarrassing at this point that, like, he's asking his wife if, like,
her sister is going to cook for them to have a good dinner.
So I was like, I got to lock it in.
That was not always, but we did live right next to each other.
It was a lot.
Bella says it too.
You used to have said a lot.
You have been influenced by Bella's over exaggeration.
No, everybody knows.
In some reason, I can kind of believe that you would do that.
Everybody knows.
Everybody knows.
Well, I married someone just like me.
He seeks out good food often.
He's always calling dad, you cooking tonight?
Which I love because it gets me and out of a fellowship.
I love it.
It's great.
It is.
All I had to say, I decided I need to start cooking.
And so I started learning.
I started doing like half-baked harvest is where I started for anyone.
interested. That's, I started following her recipes. And then I got better. But all that is to say,
for the cake situation, it was ugly, but it tasted really good. And the siblings were all mad about it.
And Rebecca still, she posted the other day. She's like, just as for my cake, we still haven't
decided who the winner is like, it was decided. It was actually. Rebecca's cake was pretty
unbelievable. I told her, I was like, people were going to ask you to do that for them. I mean,
that was, her artistic ability was insane on that. But when she said, she said, she said,
said the flavor profile was banana.
I was like, you miss it.
Didn't she say banana cream or something?
Like, she didn't hit dad's flavors.
Yeah.
And, hey, that man cared about the flavors.
So that was a funny behind the scenes moment.
I mean, you saw it on camera, but you couldn't have known how much that really actually
affected conversations for months.
And we're still talking about it.
What were some of y'all's favorite behind the scene moments from filming this season?
Well, actually, whenever you launched the whole podcast, it reminded me of the episode.
It hasn't aired yet.
So I don't know if by the time this airs, it will have aired.
But that was a super fun one where we actually competed, Christian and I, that was between us too, or we competed for your guest hosting opportunity.
And so we had to say the whole like, welcome to the way that's good, whatever.
That was the funniest day.
Well, I was going to maternity.
We laughed so hard.
that day. We laughed so hard. It was so funny. And the interviews that y'all had to do,
we set it up to where they had to interview hard guests. So that looked different ways.
Like one guest didn't talk a lot. And then one guest talked too much. And then one guest said
weird things. And it's like, how do you pivot in the conversation? It was so funny.
I hope it comes across in the edit, how funny it was that day. Because we were crying.
I still get asked all the time about co-hosting. So I think it'll hit. I think it'll resonate with people.
I do think it will.
Speaking of competition.
I think it will.
Well, if you listen to this podcast and you know my mom won because she took over while I was on maternity leave.
Sorry, babe.
You needed me at the house.
Yeah, that's right.
I think that was why I didn't.
Yeah, yeah.
That was it.
I love it.
Christian, any of your favorite behind the scene?
I'm trying to think of even just favorite moments from filming.
One that sticks out to me is Thore.
We should do a podcast and I should be Thore.
No.
Okay.
My goodness.
That was the first season.
I know, but I'm just thinking about in general.
I do want to see him as lore again on a podcast.
That would be really funny.
Christian goes, when he gets in a character,
I love it.
That's where Haven gets it from.
When Haven is Moana, she's Moana.
Like, we'll be like, Haven put on your shoes.
Moana doesn't wear shoes.
Haven, can you walk?
I have a tail.
I'm Ariel.
It's like, can you never know, but she's like all in.
That's Christian.
That is me.
But also, I think for me, the thing that sticks out most is just,
like how much time we all got to spend together.
Yeah.
Like for me, the moments I think about, I love, this will come out later, but the hot wings one.
I can't remember what we actually call it.
Hot that.
Hot legs.
Funniest.
The hot legs.
That one we, like, cried laughing.
I laughed so hard, and I was so thankful I was pregnant in that moment, and I didn't have to do that.
Because I would have to call it.
I also think it was so funny.
I also think it was just more memorable filming like in spring summertime than in the winter.
Yeah, it was more fun.
Like doing the burgers late at night.
Yeah.
The hot legs.
Like, you know, like the more summer feel to me.
Yeah.
It seems more nostalgic.
Like outside memories.
Yeah.
That's so true.
Well, the hot wings.
Okay.
So if you've ever seen hot ones on YouTube, it's one of, like, we used to love watching hot ones.
And, you know, it's the, what does it say?
It's the only show where you have hot wings and even hotter questions?
or is the opposite. Anyways, so we did a spoof on that but with frog legs. So it was like hot sauce
and all of them did it. But I have, well, first of all I was pregnant, which is what got me out of it.
But genuinely, I have a geographic tongue, which you do too. Literally yesterday, honey saw my tongue
and she said, your tongue looks broken. I was like, thank you. But like it makes things extra,
extra, extra spicy for me. So like once I was eating crawfish, that's not even that spicy. And I was
like physically shaking. It hurts so bad.
So I was like, that stinks.
I could never do that show because I would love to because I love the interviewer, but I could never do that.
You should do it, but he should just like think this last year.
But watching that was the funniest thing ever.
John Luke, I actually thought he was going to pass out.
Oh, he nearly did.
He was on the floor.
He was pale.
Which brought me back to a memory of John Luke.
Were you there at Buffalo Wild Wings when he was like in high school?
You know how they had that challenge there?
And he for some reason was determined.
He wanted to do it.
He's like not the person to do it.
He doesn't really eat spicy food like that.
He doesn't eat spicy food.
He was like, that's he wanted to do it.
And he was like foamy at the mouth, not was coming out of everything.
Eyes are watering.
And I'm as the mom, like, dying, laughing.
But I'm like, this is a matter of a lot of one.
It was not to get too much weight.
I forgot about it.
That was so much fun.
It was so funny.
That was really fun.
It was a fun night.
So I've been trying to be a lot more intentional lately about what I'm putting on my skin
because it really does matter.
For a long time, I just assumed the more intense products meant better results,
but that is really not true.
That's why I've been loving primarily pure.
It's a female founded company, which I love supporting,
and they are all about using real natural ingredients,
no harsh chemicals, no fillers,
just stuff your skin genuinely recognizes.
And here's the thing.
Their products legit work.
I am not kidding.
I mean, I noticed the biggest difference.
I was so happy to find out that I don't have to sacrifice great results
just because I'm going to a more natural and really,
prioritizing non-toxic skincare. I personally keep coming back to their plumping cream and serum.
So good y'all. My skin feels hydrated, more glowing and overall just better. And I love that
primarily pure uses ingredients like tallow and botanicals that actually support my skin. They also have
a plumping spray that I love. It makes you feel so good and refreshed throughout the day.
Just gives you a little pic-me-up that your skin needs sometimes. Truly, when I started using this,
not only did I notice the difference in my skin, but I started getting complimented a lot on my
skin and people started saying, what are you using? And I was like, I'm not kidding. Day one,
you'll notice a difference. It's not that skincare that you had to say like, okay, maybe in a few
months I'll see a difference. Like, you look so beautiful whenever you use these products. So if you've
been looking for some cleaner skincare swaps that actually work, this is a great place to start.

Okay, questions from the DMs.
Does it ever get awkward being followed around by a camera?
To be honest, for me, I'm like so used to it
because genuinely when you think about it,
and this is kind of weird to think about,
but we started filming our show.
What year did we start filming Duck Commander family?
Outdoor Channel.
Probably 2009.
I was 12.
Yeah.
Or I think it was even earlier than that, maybe.
I was 12.
And I'm 28 now.
I've had more of my life in front of a camera than not.
Maybe 2008.
And so I am like so used to be in front of a camera that sometimes, especially when we first
got married, you would have to tell me when things were too far to share.
Or like, because I don't feel that awkwardness or I don't feel that because it's just so natural.
I think that's part of your personality.
That is part of my personality, but I'm also very used to it.
Like, when we do things with other people and they're like, okay, you know, we're turning the camera and then say this.
And everybody's like, wow, like you did that so naturally because some people feel awkward in front of a camera.
But I'm like, I've literally been in front of care since I was 12, you know?
So I don't personally feel that awkwardness, but I think that's just because of how long.
And that is part of my personality.
Yeah.
I remember at first felt awkward.
I remember even like the director who was helping us, you know, had to say to me like, hey, relax, you know, be yourself.
and I would be, I think I would be more, like, calm on the show than I am in real life
because I didn't want to come across as, like, too much maybe, or as, like, I was faking it or acting,
so I would kind of, like, chill down in a way.
You were so cute on the first season of Douglassie, by the way.
Was she not?
You were so cute.
That's funny.
That's a way.
Season one is when, um, season one is when Willie since fell inside to go do the thing at the
school. Yes. You were all flustered and mad about it. Yes. You're cutting your vegetables.
No, and I did not even realize that. They were expecting their daddy.
Had the knife. Yes. They were expecting their daddy. You sound so good. That's so funny. That's hilarious.
So anyway, I just remember when you very first started filming him being like, no, just be yourself. Like, don't feel like you have to like be more calm or more of this. Like, just be yourself and move. You can move, you know, and being more like stiff or something and him being like, no.
like you can do stuff you can chop vessel you can do something while you're while you're filming
you know so i remember that initially kind of like needing a little bit of that like catch because
i was in my 40s when it happened so it was a lot later for me that's way different than when you're 12
exactly now i don't feel it and the kids i remember when we first started filming with the little
kids this time around they were a little bit unsure and then they just got so used to the cameras
they didn't even think about it you know it's true we'd have to bribe them with uh
for the mic with candy though.
Yeah, our dollar.
They loved the filming.
It was this, the putting on the mic.
Stopping to put the mic on.
Yeah, they were playing and they didn't want to stop and put on a mic.
But they got a dollar if they did it.
And then mom had a cute little book where they got to collect their dollars that they made for putting on the mic.
And it was cute.
I didn't ever think being followed around with the camera was awkward or weird to me.
I don't know.
It felt like.
Christian said I've been waiting on this moment all my life.
I felt like something I was just made to do.
I really enjoyed it.
We actually saw that for me and we love that.
I think Christian loved it more than anybody else, which I love that he did.
And it was, it really was, it is so fun.
It is special.
It's like you're getting to play together is what it does feel like, you know.
It was really sweet.
It's sweet because like when we were talking about,
are we going to do another season?
And we don't know if we will.
But for me, you know, it's so fun and I'm so thankful.
And if we do get to, I would be so grateful.
But there's so much going on with the kids and with L.O.
and all this stuff that for me, it feels a little overwhelming.
And then Christian one day he was like, I know, everybody's kind of like,
I don't know if we're doing it, but I'm kind of like, let's do it.
He's like, I loved it.
And it makes me so happy, like, to see how much you do enjoy it.
And I love that.
What I think was really, is really fun about that Christian loved it so much is that our family motto
is like, don't take yourself too seriously.
And that you really have to like lean into that to do a show like this because you have to
just lean into like play and fun and don't take yourself.
Like, it's okay if somebody thinks, whatever somebody thinks about you or whatever, like, don't think too much of yourself in it.
And if you can do that, then you really can have fun in it.
But it's hard.
It can be a head game.
Like, you could definitely get in your head about, like, what are people going to feel, think when they see this about me?
Or what are, you know, how am I being perceived or whatever?
I get in that space.
And if you get in your head too much about it, it can be not fun.
Yeah.
But I love that Christian just went with it.
And that's the thing, too, because it's different.
if you're playing, if you're acting
and you're playing like a character
in a TV show or something like that. And they don't like that
character. That's who the character is.
So they're not going to maybe go change the whole script
or the show for that character.
But with the TV show, if someone doesn't
like you, it's like, well, you can't go,
like you can't go pivot. It's like, this is kind of who I am.
I can't be like, let me go find this alter ego.
Right. It's vulnerable to put yourself
out there because if people
will say stuff like that as if
a character.
Yeah.
And you're not a character.
You're a person.
Exactly.
People will be like, oh, like people actually refer to dynasty members as characters, you know?
And it's like, oh, that's my dad.
Right.
Yeah.
You know, that's actually my uncle.
Yeah.
And it feels like a character because it's TV.
So that is kind of like a funny thing.
I don't feel vulnerable.
Whenever a dad and I do, like, you know, speeches or whatever together, he'll introduce me.
He'll introduce me.
He's like, this is, um, this is.
this is Corey, she plays my wife on television.
Yeah, she plays, yeah.
I'm also your wife and relax.
That's so funny.
I love it.
Okay, when is the episode of Kit's birth story coming out?
So this was so sweet.
And honestly, someone was asking me this other day,
and I was saying I haven't like seen the episode or like the things.
And they're like, you haven't even seen it.
Like you'll see it with everybody else.
Like, yeah, isn't that crazy?
Because y'all filmed so much on the phone that day.
of like the day that Kit was born. It was so sweet. And for those who have asked, people are like,
did you feel vulnerable sharing your birth story? Like, did you want that to be on TV? This is a great
thing about reality TV is like you get to say what you feel comfortable with and what you don't
feel comfortable with. And that was something that I thought would be really special to share,
but under the boundaries of not having any producers there or actual cameras, but y'all filming it
from just like a natural perspective. And if it weren't to show it, I don't even
know what all y'all got that day. I literally don't know what's going to be out there. And I'm really
excited, though. Like, I can't wait to see it because I feel like it'll be like reliving one of the best
days of my life with Kit. And we'll always have that for her. And to me, it felt like so cool in
just the Lord's hand that this season started with honoring pep off Phil in his life and his legacy
and ending the season with new birth, you know, like a new generation coming. And so it was just like
the perfect bookend. And we couldn't have planned that. And we couldn't have planned that.
Like you don't plan those things.
That's what I always think of in Proverbs where it says, you know, man can make its plans,
but it's the Lord who establishes their steps.
And it's like we made the plans and we filmed TV show.
We didn't know Pepo Phil was going to pass away.
I didn't even know I was going to be pregnant with it.
We didn't know that the first episode was going to be on Peppa Phil.
We didn't know that the last episode could be a new generation being born.
But that's like the Lord establishing steps.
And that is so cool to me.
Wow.
I love that.
That's so cool.
Yeah.
Well, I was thinking as you were sharing that about us, us filming, you know, and we did it just with our own cameras without, like, we didn't have, like, producers or anything in the room with you.
But the fact that you had a C-section and you posted about, you posted some of the video.
And you didn't realize what an impact that was going to make for other people to be able to kind of like see a C-section on, because you don't see a lot of that.
You see, you know, on social media.
If you get in the algorithm of births, you don't necessarily see C-sections and how that, you know, that.
impacted people in such a positive way, which kind of speaks to why we do what we do anyway.
Yeah, I didn't even know. So I guess because we had gotten all the rights from the hospital to
film, I didn't know that most of the time a lot of people having C-sections don't have their rights
to bring cameras in. And so we had gone through the legal process to make sure we could do that for
the show. But then I had it to share on social media and people were like, wow, I've never seen a C-section
portrayed in such a really beautiful way. And I think that is.
It's really hard for moms.
Like a lot of moms feel like if you have to do a C-section,
it doesn't feel as, like, miraculous as, like, you know, a vaginal delivery.
But, like, any birth is miraculous.
There's a heartbeat.
Like, there's a baby.
Like, this is a miracle.
And so it was really special to get to show that side of things.
And a lot of people have been asking me to share kids' birth story on the podcast like I did
with Honey and Haven.
And I chose not to share it on the podcast.
We shared a lot of it, you know, in the show.
But, you know, some things you have to keep personal.
but I'm excited, though, to share that side of it on the show.
And that's really sweet.
And that's coupled with the guys going on an epic hunt, which...
Oh, yeah.
That whole episode, the finale's just great.
I forgot about how fun that was.
Yeah.
Like, getting to go actually, like, fly on a plane with all the brother-in-laws.
And, like, that was such a fun trip.
Yeah.
So good.
Which y'all usually do once a year anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like a brother-in-law trip to go hunting or whatever.
So that was wonderful.
It's fun to get to capture that.
For the girls to start planning.
A lot of good laughs.
A lot of good laughs on that trip.
I love it.
Okay, I just want to take a second to talk about something that's really been on my heart.
Right now, there's so much noise in the world.
So many voices telling people what to do and what to think.
But for women facing unplanned pregnancies, the pressure can get really overwhelming,
really fast.
What breaks my heart is that so often they don't even get a moment to slow down, take a breath,
and really understand what's happening.
And that's why I care so much about pre-born and I want you to know about it.
it. At Pre-Borne Network clinics, women are met with love and compassion, not pressure. They're actually
given a free ultrasound and space just to breathe. For many women, that's the first time that they're
going to get to actually see their baby, and it literally changes everything. On top of that,
they get to hear about the hope of Jesus, which is so powerful in that moment. And this month,
Preborn's goal is to have 11,000 gospel conversations with women who are walking through this,
and we actually get to be a part of it, which is so cool. This really hits close to home. I have three
daughters and they mean the whole world to me. And I can't imagine with those pregnancies, feeling
alone, feeling scared, not knowing the truth. And so this is a community that's going to come around
you that's going to give you the good news of the gospel of Jesus and help you know that you can do
this and you don't have to do it alone. And here's this baby that God's blessed you with. So just $28
provides one ultrasound and $140 helps five moms have that amazing moment of seeing their baby
and hearing about truth and hope. To donate, dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby, again,
that's pound 250 baby or visit preborn.com slash sadie again that's preborn.com slash
saty interesting question do you guys get a lot of attention in public do you get annoyed by fans
coming up to you? I think it varies sometimes it's like a lot and then other times it's like
oh not that much kind depends on where you are and what environment you're in or whatever but
but yeah we we talk to a lot of people we have a lot of conversations
We take a lot of pictures, all that.
And for the most part, it's not annoying.
I think it's really sweet.
We have great fans.
Everyone says nice things and all that.
I mean, there have been times when it has been a little bit like much or somebody, you know, yells it across the whole way.
And you're like, okay, you don't have to yell it.
Let's just like be a little more subtle about it or whatever.
Be cool.
Yeah, be a little more subtle.
But for the most part, I think it's just really sweet.
It's so true.
It's so true.
And it does vary.
As well, I always say when people go, are you famous?
And I say, famous to some, not to others, because fame really is interesting.
Mr. Rogers, I love how he says it.
Famous is just a four-letter word, like tape or Zoom or face or pain, but it ultimately matters what you do with it.
And I think about that a lot because if I go, you know, to somewhere, like, I don't know, if we're in New York City, you know, we'll stop and talk to a few people.
But for the most part, we can walk around as pretty normal.
There's so much going on in that city.
if I'm in...
Buckies in South Alabama.
Yeah, Buckys in South Alabama.
Everybody at Buckies getting really excited.
Yeah.
Like where you are does matter.
But I personally, we do really love it when people come up to us because, like you
say, we have amazing fans and we've structured our platform in such a way that it
feels more like, you know, than just like a fan.
It's like, oh, like I listen to this podcast or I watch this video or, you know, I was
12 when I started watching Duck Dynasty and it's been a part of my family. Like it's the sweetest thing
to hear the way that this is impacting people. And everything we do is it's for God and it's for
people, you know? Right. And so, I mean, that aspect of it I love. It's actually really
encouraging to me because so much of what we do is private. And then it's like we're putting out
this podcast and no one's in the room, you know, just like our little team. We're writing books and
it's just like me and my co-writer helping me. It's like, you know, you don't see the people you're
impacting and so I'm very grateful for that but like you said yes sometimes it does get a little
overwhelming especially when we're with the kids and the family and it'll be like some people do cross
the boundary you know like we've had had someone sit on my lap in the airport a grown woman to take a
picture of me I'm like I thought someone climb across my lap you get a picture oh yeah people have like
yeah got a selfie with me like yeah I mean just there's times where it just can't cross
a boundary, especially with our kids, too.
But for the most part, it's very sweet.
During the show, the first time around, there was a lot of craziness.
And it did become, like, there was some loneliness in it because you couldn't go out,
because you couldn't go to a restaurant during that time period.
And so you just kind of ordered room service because you couldn't go to the mall or whatever
in a way, in the same way, unless you had some help or security just because of so, there was just so much.
And so I remember there being some hard parts about that.
And for y'all in high school, there was hard parts about y'all in high school.
That was very hard.
It was.
Because it did feel isolating and lonely because we would try really hard to like, like, maintain normalcy.
But then people wouldn't really allow you to feel normal.
And I think the hardest part was like...
You couldn't really go to a concert or be at a...
More so like just restaurants.
To me, it was like being with friends.
It was people's expectation on me that was really hard.
because for instance, like, I remember at times, I would be like, okay, I'm going to them
my friends.
So people ask tonight, I'm just going to say, like, hey, I'm with my friends.
And it would make people so mad if I said I couldn't take a picture.
And I would try to do it in the most polite way.
I would just say I'm with my friends.
I was trying to, like, be normal.
And then those people, I mean, this happened several times, would go on social media and just blast me.
Like, sometimes it was moms.
She was so rude.
I'm like, how would a mom not understand?
She said, no.
A teenager.
And, you know, and they would tag you and tell them how rude I was that I didn't stop to take a picture with them.
And it was just that was hard because I would get in my head about like how I was being perceived.
And then it just made you not want to go anywhere.
It's like, okay, then I just won't do it, you know.
So that was hard.
I haven't experienced that in a really long time.
I feel like most of the time now people are very respectful.
And I do feel like we're just living in a different day, though, because when Doug Dynasty,
see the original one was out. It was kind of before social media is what it is now to where people
do feel like they see into your life a little bit more. So it was more like fandom. It was like
we were characters and it was just like, whoa, like I gotta take a picture. They treated you
not like you're just human in a way. Yeah. Or now because people follow us on social media,
they see our family. They see us for who we are as people. People come up to you like a person,
you know, that they appreciate more than they used to. Yeah. From my perspective.
I think that's true. I agree. I think also because of the podcast and all that now, like you said, people aren't coming up to us and saying like, oh, I love y'all because your granddad, you know, cuts all frog legs or whatever. They're saying, like, we love y'all because you've made an impact in our family in some way. And that is really special. We hear. That means so much to me. It means so much. And it really does keep us going. It keeps us doing what we're doing because, um,
We do hear of the impact that we've made.
I always tell this story because I love it.
We hear this kind of thing a lot and especially I hear it about you a lot, Sadie.
Like a lot of people come up to me and tell me how much your podcast had meant to them.
But this one I always tell because it just exemplifies something that you wouldn't necessarily think.
So we were skiing in Salt Lake City on the slopes.
This guy comes up with like long hair and like this handlebar mustache and he was a ski instructor.
and he came up as like, oh my gosh, your family has like made such an impact on my life.
I became a duck hunter.
I never duck hunt before.
And like literally I become a duck guide because of your family.
Like I love your family and all that.
I was like, that's so great.
Thanks for sharing that or whatever.
So, and then we went on.
He comes back like 10 minutes later and he brings his girlfriend and he's like teary-eyed.
And he's like, I told you all that, told you earlier that your family impacted me,
but I really didn't tell you the full story of that.
I just want to tell you that your daughter.
her saved my life. And I was like, what? She's like, I listened to her podcast, like, in the
darkest time of my life. I was in a really bad place, and I just started listening to her podcast,
and it just changed my life. And it saved my life. And I wanted to say that to you in front of
my girlfriend, and I wanted you to know that. So it was just so beautiful because it was like
somebody that you wouldn't have expected. Like, yeah, I expected that hit for him to say,
I became a duck hunter because I watched your show. But that impact was the impact that's like,
whoa, that's really meaningful and that'll make you keep doing it.
It will make you keep doing it and make you cry.
And that's what I always tell people when they come up and tell me that.
I always say, like, thank you so much for telling me that.
Because it means so much that I'm so thankful that God would allow me to do this
and it would reach you in that way.
And before we've done any podcast we've ever recorded, we pray and we pray for the listener.
And we always pray that God would give us a love for the listener and words to speak to
the listener.
And so when people come up to me and they say, like, you said this and it changed my
life or that episode, whatever it was. And I'm like, that's answered prayers. You know, that's God
moving. And it really does keep us going. So I would not want someone sitting across their room from me
acting like a stranger who's been listening to a podcast for five years. Like, please come tell me
that you do. Please come tell me what God's done in your life. Like, I love that kind of stuff.
So yeah, in the past, we've had funny things. But for the most part, didn't you just have just recently
somebody like take a picture? People try to take secret pictures. Oh, yeah. That's hilarious.
That's hilarious.
They never are secrets.
They always think they're being like so discreet.
Didn't somebody flash go off?
Maybe she listens to the podcast.
Col sprouts or Dylan Sprouts.
They do it.
They take pictures of the people, taking pictures of them.
Oh, yeah.
Just to show people.
It's not secretive.
And it's so, but yeah, this girl, well, we were just down at the beach and we do take a lot
pictures from we're at the beach.
And so that's just kind of fun.
But when we were walking by this girl, it was dark.
and her flash goes up right, like literally right as she's passing in my face.
And she goes, oh, I don't know how I just took a picture.
It's like so funny.
That was my favorite.
No, they're funny.
But honestly, it doesn't bother me.
People ask, like, does it bother you?
Especially back whenever so many people were coming up, if someone takes a picture of you or whatever.
And I'm like, I really don't care.
But I do think, no telling how many pictures are there of me, like, eating or like licking my lips or like,
who knows?
Because they're just like taking.
random, totally candid.
And I'm not,
don't look great in candid shot.
When that flash went off,
you know there's some bad pictures out there.
That was a bad picture.
What was the Duckies picture?
Oh, no.
No, it was the Duckies place.
And I was checking out.
And it was the same night.
That's what made me think of it.
And I was just checking myself out.
And the girl was just being so sweet
and like casual and checking me out.
And then this girl like runs around the court.
She goes, oh my gosh.
Sadie Robertson is in here right now.
And the register, she goes,
and the girl goes
Oh hi we're so glad you're in here
And I was just funny because I didn't think the girl
Check him out knew who I was
But she's just playing and cool
She's like homie
It was so funny
We were just talking about how people's like
Their tone gets slower and softer
Whenever they're trying to like
You could tell they're trying to
They're talking to someone and they see you
And then they're like
I don't know what is
And then they kind of notice
You can notice they're trying to the telltale sign of you being recognized is when you audibly hear a conversation and then you walk past and then the conversation stops abruptly.
Like that's when you know.
It's funny.
Yeah, there's some funny things.
Which we did, I mean, if we see a celebrity like somebody on television or on in a movie or whatever, we do the very same thing.
We're like, is that so and so do you eat?
Oh, I cried when I met Steve Harvey.
I teared out when I saw Riba.
I totally changed my tone when we saw Jason Baton passed by us at the grocery store recently.
You just do it.
It's just fun.
You see someone, I mean, for Steve Harvey, you see someone that you watch on TV a long time.
And then you're like, whoa, I can't believe that you're here.
So we all do it.
We all get it.
Christian, what about you?
I know we talked about this recently.
Yeah, I don't really get annoyed by fans coming up to me in public because it's not very often.
It means so much to you when someone comes out to you a guy and is like, dude, I love your podcast.
before it men stuff like that is so sweet.
So like Sadie said, if wherever somewhere and you're, you, you, you, um, you listen to my
stuff or please come up to me because it does mean a lot.
But I think one of the things, I kind of confessed this to Sadie a couple months ago,
or even a couple weeks ago.
Um, and it was a, I don't even want to say wrestle, but it was something that I don't
realize I kind of had put into place.
And it was kind of right before the first season air and it was kind of like the,
family thing and we kind of talked about it. And not that it was in any way a bad expectation
or anything, but it was kind of like this, hey, you know, things might change. You know, you'll
probably get recognized more. So I think I kind of like mentally geared up like, okay,
like my life might change a little bit, you know.
Mentally geared up. And not one thing changed. That was like, it wasn't like a disappointment.
But it was just like a, oh, you know, that didn't hit like a thought.
it was going to hit.
And I asked City that threshold a couple weeks ago.
I was like, when do you cross that threshold to like, hey, are you Christian to like,
yo, can I get a selfie?
Like I don't, I haven't crossed wherever that threshold is.
I'm not there yet.
You haven't crossed it yet.
Well, I'm just laughing because I told him I was like, well, it is interesting because
I feel like, again, because we started from when I was 12, people have known me for
so long and people do recognize you now a lot actually but people still do go oh you are you know who
you are because our family has been known for so long like people know that we're I mean I have so
many people say to me like I love you and your husband's dance videos like that's a very common
thing that people say they recognize us from that but it's like even when we went to dinner it's like
oh I'm seating the Robertson family it's just the Robertsons has like a household name kind of and so we were
just like talking about that. And I was like, but also
it is something that I'm grateful
for for our family, for the girls,
because we always ask them, because people
will say, can I take a picture with your family? And we
always say, do you want to be in the picture, do you not? And so
if they don't, you know, they can stand
with you. If they do, they can be in the picture, like
and most of the time they do. So it's
actually like a sweet thing for our family.
But it was really sweet. We had a good
conversation. What I do now is when people ask
to get a picture with Sadie, I'll take it.
Oh, it's so awkward that you do this too, by the
way. This is hilarious.
So I'll take the picture and then I'll hand the thumb back
Then I'll be like okay, so where do you I want to get for our picture?
And then they get so awkward
And I'm like, I'm just kidding
And then they'll be like, no, we can take a picture
And he's just joking
And it makes him get so hilariously awkward
That is so funny
Well, but dad and I is similar in that like
I take I do take pictures
And people, even if I'm just by myself or whatever
He will take pictures with me
But not to the extent that dad does
And if so dad, dad and I are together
I'm not crying, my eyes are just
kind of weirdly watering right now.
I'm not like being emotional about this.
You made me, I'm crying, laughing.
Our allergies are, my allergies were terrible.
Something just hit me?
I was already, no.
These are not like sad tears.
You're literally crying.
I literally am.
I don't know what just happens.
It's so vulnerable.
I'm not being vulnerable.
I'm not being vulnerable.
This is going to be the trailer.
It's going to be Christian crying.
Thank you.
It's just so hard sometimes.
No, the allergies are so bad.
today.
I already, like, said, I watered off all my makeup today from allergies.
No, so dad and I are similar in that, like, with dad, with Willie, like, people, like,
have to have the picture.
Yeah.
With me, they want to say something to me a lot of times.
A lot of times a lot of people say, like, oh, your family's been a lot or whatever,
which is really sweet.
But they don't necessarily have to have a picture.
But if Willie's there, like, they got to have that picture.
Yeah, exactly, which is totally fine.
So I'll offer, I'll be like, you'll me to take it.
And then sometimes they're like, I don't know what you're in it or whatever.
I don't care.
Like, I truly don't not care whatsoever one way or another.
But the funny thing is when we're together,
dad says that he takes more pictures when we're together than him and he's about himself
because it's like verification.
Yeah, it's like, oh, that's who that is.
It's like, you see him and then you're like, oh, that might be him, but then you see me.
And you're like, oh, yeah, for sure.
We get recognized way more with the kids.
People see the kids realize like, oh, it's confirmation.
It's like where they think maybe or whatever.
That's true.
But Willie takes a lot more pictures that I do, even still.
Yeah.
Well, no, like I said, it's not something that bothers me.
It's not funny.
But he is weeping over here.
I'm not weeping.
But no, like I said, I think it was just that, like, mental expectation of, like, this might change.
This might happen.
And it didn't.
And not that that's, like, made me, like, sad or, like, questioning anything.
Yeah.
It's just acknowledging that, like, I had had this expectation.
and it didn't happen.
Well, it's so true with television.
I do think people don't really understand that
how what happened with us with Duck Dynasty
was so crazy
because a lot of people have television shows
that doesn't happen.
It was a phenomenon.
It still holds a record
of being like the most watch unscripted show of all time.
And so all the licensed products,
all the things that happened with that was kind of like insane.
So this time around with having the show back on air
it's doing great, a great show and all this,
but it just, that time around, it was insanity.
And you just really never know what's going to happen with the show
and how it's going to affect things.
But anyway, that's funny.
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable Christian.
You're welcome.
I've never shared that publicly.
I cannot wait for this trailer.
I know, this trailer is going to be of it.
And last question, since we're talking about,
about sharing things publicly, is it hard to keep your private and public lives separate?
You know, kind of not really, honestly. I mean, we just, I think we live in our same town.
You know, we've kept our private lives the way it is. And also, we are kind of open book people
just naturally. We have homes that we have a lot of people in all the time. We're used to a lot of
people around and family and people and friends and all this. And so we're not super private people
maybe anyway. So that might just be part of our nature. But our private life still feel very
private. Like we live our lives. We do our things. We enjoy our just normal. We feel like we have a
very normal life. We go to the grocery store every day. We do just very normal things. And so I do
think with a podcast, we make a joke about that because you're recording a podcast twice a week
or once, you know, essentially. And but Jace for Unashamed and Al do four times a week and, and
Christian's been doing that. Yes, me and John Luke. And John Luke and Christian have been doing that
too, that car room. So you are talking a lot. So there is kind of a joke about that. You're like,
if you don't want something told, don't tell, especially Al or Jase, because they're talking for hours
every week and they're going to tell it every story. They need a cold open, yeah, four or five days a week.
Exactly. And so I do think the podcast makes it more than even having the television show.
The television show feels a little bit more kind of controlled and you film it a long time ago before
it comes out and all that. But the podcast is like every week.
The podcast, it is hard because you are talking for so long on such vulnerable topics. So sometimes
the line does get crosswords like, oh, maybe I've shared too much or whatever that looks like. And we've
even had people texts after so I'm like that you I can't believe you shared that or whatever and it's
like well you know you're in the conversation but at the same time um you know again like you said we
feel so called to it like we really do feel a calling our life be the light of the world and so
that's sharing your life with the world but we also have boundaries in that like I look at some
influencers who share everything and that's them that's not me you would probably be surprised by
how much I don't share when you, if you look to my camera role, I don't share most of it.
You know, I share a lot of things that, like, revolve around work, revolve around podcast,
revolve around ministry. There are definitely my family in pockets of that. But like in our day-to-day,
my close friends, Instagram is bump in. And, you know, because I want to share that with my
family and my friends, but not like the whole world. And so there is like a private aspect to it
that has, you know, been kept really normal. Like my best friends,
we always laugh.
Like we don't have a lot of pictures together.
And we've done so much life together for the past five, six years.
And there's just like not a lot of pictures to prove it, you know?
But it's just private.
So I don't think about pulling my phone out in moments that feel private.
People ask me like, oh, you never talked about your home church.
That doesn't mean we don't go to church.
We just don't post about going to church, you know?
So it's like there is like such a normal private life here that I don't share just naturally
just kind of don't.
But it was funny because someone said,
to me recently, who I know very well. So if you're watching this, then you said it. But they were like,
I don't follow you on Instagram because I just want to know you for like this side of you.
And I was like, well, you should follow me on Instagram because I'm the same person. Like there is
privacy, but there's not a disconnect. I'm very much so the same person. Christian always says that
about me and like I feel like that's just true. He's like, you're very authentic, whether you're here
or there. It's the same consistency. It's just I choose to share this side and I choose not to share that.
So I was telling that person, I was like, you're not going to see me differently by that.
You're going to see me the same.
I just share more personal things on my private stuff, you know, my private page.
Exactly.
I post a dump every Sunday and I could post a lot more dumps if I shared all the pictures.
Yep.
You're so correct.
I'm sorry.
You need a moment.
And that's a wrap.
Well, I just want to say I think the authenticity of what you do and what you share and all,
everybody who does the podcasting and everything and when I'm on the podcasting as well too.
I think that is, I always say, like, your vulnerability is your superpower because it's how
you're growing and learning because you are able to be vulnerable about things that you're going
through. And Christian, you have that ability too. And I think that is one of the ways y'all
have gained so much wisdom at a young age is because you talk about the things you're going
through and you let other people speak into your life. You're constantly learning and
that. And I think that's what podcasting is about. And that's what makes y'all great podcasters is because
you're doing that. And you're doing it live on camera and you're learning and growing. And people are
following along with that and learning and growing with you. So that's so sweet. Thank you so much.
That's so sweet. Mom, you're the best. Now Christian is cry.
Oh, that was so sweet.
I'm sorry for every time he said we're flex, but okay. No, I took it as a compliment that you would say that.
Thank you.
