Instacart, groceries that over-deliver. Hey, friends. We're going to get into today's episode in just a minute. But of course, we had actually pre-recorded today's episode. We've been trying to get caught up with all the things. And that was before my pebble fill had passed away.

And I just wanted to come on here and make sure that I say to everyone thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your kind words, for all of the messages, for all of the posts that you've made, for all of the comments. Every single one has gone such a long way and has honestly just made me reflect so much about the life my grandpa lived. He is truly a legend and I knew that and I knew there was no one like him, but even more so now. I've never, maybe never known someone who lived a life

with the end in mind so intentionally every day. I mean, it's really weird how many videos and clips we have of him talking about death. It's actually crazy. But he lived like that. He lived with the end goal in mind. And because he was so aware that this world was not his home, he talked about it all the time.

Not just for his sake, not just for our sake, but for everyone to make sure they knew about Jesus and the hope that they could have too. It's amazing seeing clips of him from like 40 years ago, saying the same things that I would hear him saying, you know, last year, and what a life of authenticity and what a life of just true belief and true faith. I was thinking back over the last couple months

of just some times we got to spend, and it was probably, yeah probably about six months ago. That's when the Alzheimer's had really kicked in pretty heavily and things were getting pretty tough. And I remember telling my husband, we were watching Dagnanus, and I was crying, just seeing Pepofil back, being as strong as he was and knowing kind of the state he was in. And I said, I wish I would have told him, just thank you for teaching me how to preach by the way he lived.

I wish I would have told him, like, that's why I do what I do, because that's all you do it. I wish I would have said thank you. I wish I would have told him thank you for teaching me the importance of baptism and all these different things. And Christian said, well, you can still tell him that. I was like, yeah, but what if he doesn't know who I am or remember? He said, it doesn't matter. You should tell him that.

So that week we went out down to their land and I actually go out there often to work on messages just to be in the quiet woods. And I went out there and I worked on my passion messages in December and I'm like, hey, I'm gonna go tell him. So I went over and I was like, hey, people, I feel I've been working on this message. I'm about to preach to 50,000 college students. And I just wanna say thank you for teaching me

how to not only preach, but how to live. And I just said thank you for showing me the most authentic form of ministry I've ever seen in my life. And I said, you know, I've been to Nashville, I've been to the different things, I've seen what the industry can create, but I'm so thankful to see such a pure ministry in our home.

And I just want to thank you for that. And for the baptisms you did in our house, for the ways that you preach the gospel to every person. And he was so sweet and he started telling me the story about this fisherman that came to his house years and years ago. And Memaw came, remember, and she piped in. She said, that was the stinkiest man

I've ever smelt in my life. He smelt like fish. I didn't want him in my house. And she said, but Phil didn't see him the way I saw him. I saw a stinky man and Phil saw a lost soul. And Pell-O-Phil said, that's right. And he said, Sadie, I've had the richest of people and the poorest of people come here

and I treat them all the same. And I think that that stuck with me. It's going to continue to stick with me. That's just how he lived his life. It didn't matter who it was, where he was, he was gonna preach the same message because he so wholeheartedly believed in the gospel of Jesus Christ

because he had been transformed by it. And sitting with him just the other day as he was transitioning into heaven, I just thought, man, he has already experienced dead to life in real life when He was in His 20s. He went from dead to life. He became a new creation, and now He's gonna do it again in fullness. And to think about a man who never had a cell phone,

never had a computer, lived in the middle of nowhere in a very small house, literally touched the lives of millions of people is beyond me, it's only God. And I've learned so much from his life. Just even in that, I think about how, man, so many of us think we have to strive to do the things God's called us to do.

I think the thing that God's looking for is a pure heart. And I know he found that in Pebbleville. Reminds me of people like David in the Bible. And so I'm just so thankful for his a pure heart. And I know he found that in Pebbleville. Reminds me of people like David in the Bible. And so I was just so thankful for his legacy. I'm so thankful that I can walk in it. I'm so thankful that you all can walk in it. Just live in authentic lives, simple lives for the gospel of Jesus.

So again, thank you so much. And what crazy timing that he would pass. The Sunday before our new show airs, this Sunday, the revival. it's really actually crazy. And we truly feel God's presence so near to us here in this time. It was our one week we've actually had off filming and months.

So we were just thankful for this time with family, but I had to come in and just say thank you for all the messages, for all the words, for all the love. And we'll get to today's episode, but thank you very much. ["I'm On My Way Now"] What is up, World of That's Good fam? Happy Wednesday, everybody. I hope you're having a good week,

but it's about to get so much better, and it really is about to get so much better, because this week, our new show, Duck Dynasty, The Revival, airs for the first time, premieres, I guess, on A&E this Sunday, eight o'clock Central. And we want to make sure you are watching. We have been working on this as a family for a while now

and are just super excited to get to share it with all of you. So today we're going to be talking a little bit about the show. We actually asked you guys to send in all your questions that you have circling around the show and y'all sent in some really good ones. So I have your two favorites and my two favorites, Christian and K-Swag on the pod today. Hey. Happy to be on it.

Yeah, so happy to be here. It's premiere week. Premier week, we're planning a big party, a big watch party. Hope you are too. Hope you're going to tag us in your watch parties. Oh my gosh, good idea. Is that a thing? It should be.

It needs to be a thing. It needs to be a thing. Everybody, get your watch party together. Text your people right now. And that's your plan Sunday night. But when you do the watch party, each one have it individually on your phones. Yeah, we need the streamings. We need the numbers. We need those each one have it individually on your phones. Yeah, we need the streamings. We need the numbers.

We need those numbers. Just put it on your phone, put your phones aside, and also have it on the TV. Well, we're super excited. We can't believe that this week is finally here. I guess we can believe it because, you know, we've been filming since December. And here we are. Really? Before that? Yeah, actually, in the fall we did start.

We did a few things in the fall, yes. Yes, as you will see on the show, super exciting. And yeah, super pumped that we're finally here. We're still filming right now for season two, which is very exciting. And so we're kind of still in the thick of it, but we got a lot of fun questions that we're gonna go through.

Okay, let's just start with the T. Is it hard filming with family or is it fun? Ooh. Depends on what day you ask that question. No, I think it's fun, everybody has fun doing it. I really, I think it's fun for everybody. We all love it. Even the kids, the grandkids at first were funny

about like they didn't want to put their mic. So obviously, you know, we're filming. So we're wearing microphones whenever we're filming. And we were trying to put the microphones on the kids and they were like a little resistant. They just, cause they didn't know like, what is this? What are we doing? So we had to pay them a dollar every time at first.

But now, now we don't even have to pay them the dollar because they just love it. Like they get so excited to film because they're with their cousins, which is what they want to do anyway, is just play with their cousins. They like the mics and all. They think it's cool.

Haven, Haven's like, she literally went up to Derek the other day, the sound man, and she was like, I want a microphone, I want a microphone. And he's like, you want a microphone? Yeah, I want a microphone. Which we've been giving her like fake microphones, like we'll give her like the TV remote and be like, it's your microphone.

And that way she doesn't have to wear one, or she just doesn't need to wear one because she will end up throwing that thing in the toilet or something. And so finally we put it on her and she's like, no microphone, no microphone. And then she ended up. She was so proud when I got there though

to tell me, she was like, have a mic. And I was like, you have a mic? Okay. And then she kept it on all day. She was so funny. But last night, this is literally happened last night. Honey was changing out of her t-ball outfit and she goes, wait, do you have a microphone on?

I was like, no, you don't have a microphone on. It's so funny. That's funny, we have been filming a lot, so they do just kind of become part of us and you kind of forget that you have a microphone on, of course, because it's just stuck to your shirt. And so, yeah. Which does keep you accountable.

Sometimes, yeah. Don't you do forget. Sometimes you'll be talking and you're like, I have a microphone up. And that is just weird. Or you have to go to the bathroom and you're like. Oh yeah, I always hold it down. And like, hopefully that muffles the sound.

I try to like turn mine off or something. Or something like, well, whatever they've heard. They're used to it now. Well, and Derek was actually our sound guy from the original Duck Dynasty. So we've known Derek since, I've known Derek since I was literally like 15 or 16. He's probably heard a lot of us.

He has, he's very gracious. Oh, can I say it? Can I say it? I'm not even supposed to know this cause mom told me, oh no. What? That Derek mentioned to you that you smack. That Derek mentioned to you that you smack? Oh.

No, we had a sort of a bit of a tiff. We were filming and I put in. I know, I was just saying, it just came out. Well, we were filming, it was the house with the kids and I was eating, I put like a, it was like a pineapple, I think, I was eating a pineapple. And you know Brad Pitt always a pineapple, I think, I was eating a pineapple. And you know Brad Pitt always eats in every single scene.

So I wasn't thinking- Were you in your head? I was not in my- I was not in my- No I wasn't, I was like, if Brad Pitt can do it, I'm just eating a pineapple off to the side, I'm not even into the scene really. And then he was like, wait, wait, wait, hold up,

hold up, hold up. Christian, the chewing. But it was like, it kind of came across kind of rude and we paused what we were doing. And I was like, Derek, are you like mad at me? Because like, you seem kind of mad at me. And he's like, no, no, no, sorry buddy, sorry buddy. The film, the chewing, it was too much.

So I guess Brad Pitt, when he chews, it's a little more gracious. You're like, Derek, I'm being Brad Pitt right now. I don't understand the mix up. Then he politely told me that I was not Brad Pitt. Well, you know what's really funny? I guess I really do smack when I chew. Oh my gosh.

He's confirming what I've said for five years. I admit, I have a deviated septum. I've said it for years. That's why I can't breathe through my nose. I heard you were chewing and talking at the same time. It wasn't just chewing. I might've been, but you see it done all the time. So I was like, it's a normal thing

for people to chew and eat. It is really hard though, because we do film a lot while we're eating. Like the first egg dynasty, we're having a dinner scene and in this one, we have meals together and they're filming them. And so I have seen myself chewing and talking insane and it's not pretty always, you know?

It's just part of it. No, actually in the first episode, I'm standing beside dad while he's talking and I have something in my teeth and I kept getting it out. And I'm like, oh, that is terrible. And it just like keeps being shown. Like every time they come back to me, I'm still doing it.

I'm like, okay. Cleaning the teeth. Can we zoom in a little tighter on dad? There's always that like balance of like, should I just do that and clean my teeth? But that looks worse than just, do I just let there be something in my teeth? But you're the only one that the sound guy's

actually commented on. Yes. He does not know I have a deviated septum. He doesn't. And he does now. You have a deviated septum and you also have a bruise on your nose right now. Are we gonna address that?

Yes, we are gonna address that. Because of something that we were filming this past week. That was gonna lead me to my next question. Has anything gone wrong and been funny while you've been filming, Christian? So I have a bruise on my nose and a- Show your shoulder. Well, that's gonna give something away.

Well, it's not gonna give anything away. This just gives away that there's some physical comedy happening. I filmed something this week and I really screwed up my shoulder. Something went wrong and Christian's nose is bruised. His shoulder is potentially dislocated, and he has bruises all up his arm. You should see the other guy.

The other guy has a couple bruises too. And the other guy may or may not be Jacob. Yeah. It was a fun, it was a fun, it was a fun sequence that we were, we got to do together. Has anything else gone wrong filming besides your injuries?

Plenty of things, yeah. So besides your shoulder and your nose and your arm going wrong, I'm trying to think of anything else that's gone wrong. Well, I mean, the kids, filming with kids is crazy. Like our kids range in the age of, how old is Xander? I mean- Six months.

Six months to six. We started this when he was first born, like literally. Like he was born on episode one. So literally like baby to Zane being six. And so that's just a crazy age. And there's unpredictable. Eight of them. Eight now and one more coming.

We'll be at nine. Eight grandkids under the age of six that we're always filming with, and so I feel like if anything goes wrong, it's normally like someone's having a meltdown, someone is being crazy, screaming, this, that, the other, but that's just fun too, that's part of it. Well, other than my shoulder and our gender reveal episode.

Ah! That's the best ever. Yeah, there's been a couple things that have happened. That's a tease. We can't tell anything about that. No, I'm not. Just know. No, I'm just saying, like, just know you do not want to miss the gender reveal episode.

You do not. So someone actually asked, what episode are you most excited for people to see? And I was going to say the gender reveal episode. I can't wait to see that episode. We haven't seen anything from that episode yet. Like we haven't gotten back any edits. I cannot wait because that whole thing was just so funny and so sweet. And then someone also asked the question, has it been hard to keep the gender of the baby a secret?

Yes, it has been very hard to keep the gender of the baby a secret. And actually when we filmed it, we thought it was gonna be earlier on in the season that it was gonna air, just based off kind of the timeline, but it ended up being such a good episode that they pushed it back to further in the season. So it's like now I have to wait even longer

to share the gender. I know that's like now I have to wait even longer to share the gender. I know, that's tough one for you. It really is. Senni loves to tell everything. So the fact that she's holding this, this is a big secret for you to hold. You're doing good.

I'm proud of you. The only way I can hold secrets is if I know like the surprise is gonna be worth it, you know? And that's what's keeping me like trying really hard to keep this a secret because the episode is so funny. Like the, what happened in real life is so funny that I'm like, I really want people to- You can't make it up.

You cannot make it up. I really want people to like see it real time and not know the whole time what the ginger is until the end because it's so funny. Yeah, I feel like, you know, some things you do where it's like that, if someone sees it, they're gonna think we scripted that or made that up. But it's like, no, you could not make that up.

Like that truly is exactly how it happened. And if we did script it, that would have been the funniest scripting. Like we would have been like, this is gonna be so funny, but there's no way we could have acted it out like that. Just the authenticity in real life. And we're gonna have to do an episode recount when that comes out, because I cannot wait to share

what I was thinking in the moment, what you were thinking. Like we all had very different reactions to what happened. And it actually doesn't have anything to do with like the gender of the baby. It's what happened. It's like a gender of the baby. Right, yeah. It's what happened. It's like a gender reveal fail. It is a gender reveal fail.

And I love watching people's gender reveal fails and now I get to be one of them. You get to be one of them? You are the main star of the gender reveal fail. Thank you. All right. Y'all know I'm all about being proactive when it comes to my health, not just waiting around for something to go wrong. And that's why I'm so thankful for Function Health.

Yeah I think that one's really, yeah I'm really excited about that one. I'm guessing I'm allowed to talk about the pickleball one.

I think that one's a funny one. Yeah, we do a brother-in-law pickleball competition together, which is, I think that one's a lot of fun. And then there's one episode where I get thrown under the bus for saying that I don't think pregnancy is maybe the hardest thing, which I- Go ahead, say what you said.

So I've learned my- You said it. You said it. What did I say? You're like, I don't think it's that much harder to be pregnant. Why would it be harder for you to be pregnant than me not pregnant?

You made a comment like that. I don't think it was. When we were playing basketball. I don't think it was that, but- When we were playing basketball, and I beat you, and you were like, and then Jacob was like, you're pregnant, well I beat you. And you're like, well why would it,

why does it matter that she's pregnant? Yes. It's not that hard. So we do this, I learned my lesson in one episode that pregnancy is a lot harder. That one I'm really excited about. That's gonna be good. That one is so funny.

I'll probably face some repercussions. So the pickleball episode was really funny too, because I just remember after the pickleball, probably five people in our family came up to me and being like, Sadie, Christian's really mad. We might wanna see the edits. We might have to cut some things out because it might make him look really bad.

I think everybody knows that Christian's competitive. So, I mean, it's just out there. Yeah, I was. I was like, Christian? Like, you know? I mean, you know how Christian can be whenever he loses. But I was just, like, that's the tough part. I was just acting the whole time.

Yeah, right. And I saw the cameras. What's going to make a good episode? Yeah. How mad can I get? Me. I just came right up. What's gonna make a good episode? Yeah. How mad can I get? Me losing it, yeah right. You wish. You wish you could act that well.

We can't give away who wins though. No we can't. Maybe I just win very disgracefully. Maybe. Maybe you had a little losing mode. Maybe I'm a sore winner. I'm your sore winner. That is so funny.

Okay, speaking of I'm just acting, someone said, is any of it scripted or is this all purely real life? And mom, I love how you kind of describe what reality TV looks like to film it. Yeah, I think like that always says like, true reality TV would be hidden cameras because you don't know anything

that's just hidden cameras all the time, which then it would be like, you know, thousands and thousands of hours to edit to come together. So this is more like, we know that we're gonna do something, obviously, we know the cameras are here, we put on our microphones, all that kind of thing, but it's like, however we do, it's like improv, I guess. It's got improv.

It's your job to fill in the blanks. Yeah. I feel it's like who you are level 10. It's what you do level 10. It's like everything's just cranked up a little bit, which I think is natural for camera. All the stuff we do, yeah. It's all the stuff we do normally anyway.

It's just like, you have to plan it out to know when the cameras are gonna be here. So I always think of it like this. It's like, you plan to go to lunch with somebody this week. You text your friend, like, hey, let's go to lunch on Thursday. And in doing that, you're like, oh, we want to talk about this. We need to catch up on these things or whatever. So you know that you're going to go to lunch with your friend

on Thursday at 12. You know that you're going to catch up on certain things. But you don't know how the conversation is going to go. It's still real and real in the moment. And so that's kinda how it is. We're like, oh, we know we're gonna have a party, or we know the guys are gonna play pickleball, we don't know who's gonna win.

We have an assumption of who might win, but we don't know. The assumption of who usually wins. Yeah. So you have, yeah, you're like, oh, we're gonna have a meeting, an office meeting, which that's a fun part of this new season that is kind of like a new element to this show that wasn't around when Duck Dynasty,

we have office meetings. And so a lot of our employees and people we work with are on the show. And so, yeah, you know, you're gonna have a inner office meeting and we know we're gonna talk about some things about the office, but you don't know what everybody's gonna say you don't know what's gonna what

elements are gonna happen in those moments. That's so true. Yeah it makes so much sense. I think like there are different types of there's so many different types of reality TV and I was reading about this the other day how it's like yes it is you know reality but it's also entertainment you know so it's like, yes, it is reality, but it's also entertainment, you know? So it's like meant to be entertaining, you know? There are funny things that, like story ideas that were like, oh, we should do this

because we've done this before and let's film that, you know? So there's like fun things like that, but yeah, you are who you are. So your reactions are what they are. No one's like, oh, you have to win this or you have to lose this. It's like, no, whoever wins wins, whoever loses loses. There's that reality to it. So I love that people are asking that question,

and it's been super, super fun to film all this stuff as a family. And to the question of is it fun or hard, I actually think it's just really fun. There's been hard moments, but not really filming days. I think filming days's just really fun. There's been like hard moments, but not really like filming days. I think filming days are pretty much fun. We have a lot of good times. It's hard to be in production. Yeah, that's the hard part.

When we film together, that's fun. But to be in production for an extended period of time, like we've been in for more than six months now, because you're trying to live your own life. I always think about it like this, it's like certain shows, like you go away for like American Idol or Survivor, like that's all you're doing is that one thing.

But when cameras come into your house and your office, your space, it's different because it's like, we are living our own lives and doing all of these things, plus adding an element of production and cameras and a film crew and all these things to it. So it's like in addition to your life, where certain things, like if you're going away to film a movie or something like that,

that's what you're acting in, you're there on set to just do that. But in this way, it's like an addition and it can cause a lot of stress. It's not easy. It's definitely not easy. Yeah, that's the thing too. I feel like it is good accountability as a family.

I feel like there's probably not many families that day in, day out can just be together all the time without having, whether it's arguments or things like that. Because in real life stuff, when you're not doing kind of what we're doing, you know, whether it's arguments or things like that, because in real life stuff, you know, when you're not doing kind of what we're doing, you might be like, I'm not gonna talk to so and so for a couple days or I need some space, but it's like, tonight you're with them all night, you know?

So you do have to get over things quicker and yeah, have conversations that do keep you accountable. And yeah, you learn to forgive quicker and move on past things. Yeah, me and Christian were laughing the other day because me and dad had a little tiff recently and I was like, oh, you know, like I don't want to see him tomorrow.

And I said, by the grace of God, it was his birthday. I had to text him and then we were filmed together. So it was like, you know, that's just reality. And so families are gonna have your things and what you want to do is like retreat whenever you're mad at somebody. But there's actually been a huge blessing in like not being able to do that, like getting back in it.

And you move past things, you know? And it's more like what you did when you were siblings and you were young, you know? I think that's really sweet. And that's kind of like, I've said that before about the first time around with Duck Dynasty, it's kind of a lot of the message of this show. It's like, yes, we can fuss and fight

and we can have all these like stressors or whatever happen in our day. But at the end of the day, we come around together as a family and have a meal and thank God for what's in front of us. And I think that was kind of that special little magic of what the show was and a reminder to families of like, hey, whatever you're going through,

whatever is happening, like it's not worth like separating the family. So come together around the table before God, be grateful for what's in front of you and forgive, forgive quickly. And so I think that that's a really good message. And I say that a lot of times, like, I think living in a big family, you are forced to learn that,

especially living in a big family like ours, where we do a lot together. It's like, you're forced to like understand differences and be good with people's differences, understand you're not all gonna agree on everything. You're gonna think differently. You're gonna fuss and fight about this or whatever. But at the end of the day, we're family,

where if you take that on a bigger scale of our world or our community or our country, it's like, hey, we can also love each other and come together even if we think differently or disagree. And this is kind of like a little microcosm of that. And so hopefully our show does show that and kind of help people live that out in their life too. Yep.

And like being okay with each other's differences and that we're creating a show together and we have different visions for what it should be or what it should look like. Yeah. And like all of those different visions merged into being what it became. Yes.

Which is really cool because like I wanted to be a certain way, y'all wanted to be a certain way, Jelena wanted to be a certain way, Rebecca and Jari wanted to be a certain way, y'all wanted to be a certain way, Jelena wanted to be a certain way, Rebecca and Jari wanted to be a certain way, but everyone had their vision for what this was gonna look like and it couldn't have been anybody's full vision. It took everyone's attention.

It makes it better. It makes it a lot better. And even people ask, what is your relationship like with the film crew? I feel like that's been something that's new for them too, is that collaboration. Because they have said, like, in a lot of other reality shows that they've done, you know, they come in,

and it's their vision, you know? And they direct that vision and produce that vision. And for our family, because we have done this before, and we have established something, but also this is a new generation, so we're creating something. We have a lot of say in what we want it to feel like, what we want it to be like,

what we want it to be perceived as and received as, I guess I should say. And they have been really good about that collaboration. But collaboration's hard. There's give and take in that. Yeah, it's a big, like when you see, I always say this, after we did the blind, you see that scroll of names at the end.

You have a whole different perspective of it. Or when you have, when you've done a TV show, you see at the end that scroll and list of all the people involved. It's like, it takes a lot of people to pull off something like this. And it's like, from the editors to the people, and you know, the people all over the country,

like the world actually, one of our EPs lives in Greece. And so I was on the phone with him this morning, you know, it's like people all over the world kind of coming together to do something, which is the beauty of it. And what I think creates something great, but also is the challenge of it. It's not just one person's vision,

but that's what makes something really special. Yeah. Yeah. You know those hot summer days where you're just living your best life out there? Well, hydration matters big time, especially if you're sweating in the sun or chasing kids around through the sprinklers.

Element's new lemonade salt is the summer's MVP. It is tart, salty, and super refreshing. And I seriously feel like I'm leveling up my hydration game every time I mix it up. Dehydration used to sneak up on me all the time, causing headaches, brain fog, leg cramps, all the things, feeling zapped in the middle of the day, but with element in my corner, I can stay ahead of all that. The new seasonal lemonade salt is great mixed with water and thrown into the cooler for

a refreshing sip on the beach or try being a little extra with it and tossing it with some fresh fruit, salty lemonade pitcher for the win, come on y'all. And hey, it's totally risk free to try it. If you don't love it as much as I do, just pass it along to a salty friend. Element will actually refund your order, no questions asked.

I love Element because honestly I see benefits so fast. I have leg cramps so bad during pregnancy and if I don't drink an element, they're coming. So element is definitely my go-to. Elemented salt is also available for a limited time only so go ahead and get yours while supplies last. This is a flavor you're gonna wanna try. You can also get your free element sample pack

Someone did ask about like what the biggest adjustment has been to filming and what our typical days look like. That is such a loaded question, I feel like. I can go first for me.

My life has changed so much this year. It has definitely been a huge adjustment and something that I kind of struggled with more than I thought I was going to, just because I didn't realize how kind of established I had become in my routine until my routine got shaken up. And, you know, I've shared this on the podcast before. We even had Pete Richardson come on the podcast.

And Pete and I and Christian met years ago after having honey. He helped me establish a healthy schedule for our family. And so I worked four days a week, had my Fridays off with our family. And that was kind of my thing. And whenever I was at work, I was at work. When I was at home, I'm at home.

I kind of had a good separation of that. Then when we started filming, it kind of all got thrown off a little bit because we film Monday through Thursday. Generally. Generally. Unless something's happening on the weekend that they want to film. Unless something's happening on the weekend.

And then the only days I have to actually do my work, which would be like podcasting, any writing, any meetings I have, anything is now on Friday. So what used to be like my day off is now like my busiest day in the office. And so now to keep up with the weekly podcast, it's like three podcasts every Friday with all the ads to keep up with all the ads for the podcast, which is, you know, a lot. And then any meetings I have with anyone has to be Friday as well.

And then- Doctor's appointments, it's hard to just do anything. Any hair appointment, any doctor's appointment, anything. So I had actually gotten Invisalign right before the show started, and I had to get it off a month in because I was like, I can't make any of my appointments. And then my doctor has been like the best doctor

in the world because he's like actually been able to see me on Fridays which he normally doesn't do just because I don't have another day. When you're pregnant, you always have to go to the doctor a lot. And so then my hair, thankfully, I mean, I just go, I actually just kind of waited it out this time

and then I had an amazing hairdresser who also kind of got me in. But it's definitely like a huge adjustment and we had to hire new people to kind of make sure that everything was going to run smoothly. I hired a CEO who's one of my mom's best friends. She's amazing. But yeah, it's been a huge adjustment.

And people have asked how the spouses have done with the adjustment. And I want, Christian, you to kind of go next with your adjustment. But what's been interesting is when we start talking about doing a show, we focus so much on how you were gonna handle it, because it was gonna be new for you,

and it was like, make sure you're good, you feel confident, all this stuff, and we didn't really talk about me, because I'm like, I've done this before, and then two months in, I'm like, I think I'm struggling more than you, he's like, yeah, you are. And I'm like, because I didn't realize

how much my life, like my day to day was going to change. But in that, there's been so many sweet things too, because me, I've gotten to film with the kids so much, so I've gotten to be home more. I've gotten to do so many fun things with our family, and no day looks the same. Some days we'll be filming, you know,

if we have something we're shooting, that's like, gotta take till 9 p.m. and it's all day and then some days it's like 30 minutes. Let's just film this little thing that we wanted to do. And so every day is so different. You just don't know what your day's gonna look like because we don't get our film schedule until the night before.

That's the hardest part. Is you can't like, so say, oh I happen to not be filming Tuesday. Oh, well maybe I could have done a Dodgers appointment, but I didn't, I happen to not be filming Tuesday. Oh, well, maybe I could have done a Dodgers appointment. But I didn't know I wasn't going to be filming until Monday night. So we talk about the week before what's going to happen the next week. And then we kind of talk through, like, oh, this

is happening this day. This is this day. So what does the film crew want to cover and when? And so it's loose. But you don't. But there's so many of us. Yeah, you don't really know until the night before what they're actually going gonna cover on that next day

and what their timeline is and everything. So yeah, it's a lot. And then, you know, we were like, let's play T-ball this year. That was crazy because it's like, okay, well, y'all are filming this morning with the kids and then this afternoon, Christian's filming here and Sadie's filming here and the kids are with Sadie

and then, oh, and Honey has a T-ball game. So we're gonna pause real fast and go play T-ball, and then we're gonna come back and we're gonna finish out what we were doing. So there's so much life adjustment, and that's just kind of part of it. And I think that there's been super fun things and really hard things, and that, like you said,

production is the hard thing. The filming is not necessarily hard. What we film is fun. Getting to be together as a family is fun. It's just tiring after six months of the logistics of keeping up with it and Fridays being so wild. Whenever we first started with Duck Dynasty, which that was like 2012, I said,

I didn't realize I had issues with patience and control and still I started filming. Word. And I was like, well, yeah. Because you realize, yeah, you're not really in control and still started filming. And I was like, well, yeah. Because like you realize, yeah, you're not really in control because it is such a big team. There are so many aspects and so many things happen. So no one person can be in control.

And then also patience, you gotta be patient and wait on, you know, you don't know to last minute maybe what's gonna happen the next day or whatever. And so it is definitely, it teaches you some things about yourself. Yeah. Oh, I have been.

We're sitting with a four year old in the dugout who doesn't want to play T-ball. Patience and control. Patience and control. Which I'm usually great at those two things. Babam, choo. Christian, what's the adjustment been like for you? Yeah, well, I think too, you know,

kind of what you just talked about helping me through the whole filming thing. I think I think too, you know, kind of what you just talked about helping me through the whole filming thing. I think the thing that, you know, because obviously I think the biggest adjustment will probably be just backlash on like a bigger scale versus like kind of what we go through now. So like filming for me hasn't been the biggest like prepping. This is not necessarily the hard part for you.

You're more worried about like. Like how things get perceived. Yeah. You're more worried about like. Like how things get perceived. And kind of things like that. But yeah, you really just hit on the stuff of, I think the biggest adjustment's just kind of been the, like the ambiguity of what your days are. Cause it's like, you could be filming for eight hours

or it could be an hour or 30 minutes, you know? So there's really, but you have to prepare for the following day as if it's gonna be all day or it could just be two hours. So you can't plan anything. So yeah, I think that's been the biggest adjustment is like just having an open schedule. That's true.

Most of what we talked about for you and what we assume would be more hard would be that social media side of things, backlash side of things. Which hasn't gotten there yet. Which hasn't gotten there yet. And that was the thing I felt more confident in because I felt like I faced that the first time,

overcame that. But I wasn't thinking about like the actual production. I was thinking about when the show comes out. I'm like, oh yeah, but you film it. First, you film it first. It's like writing a book. You gotta write it first, yeah. Yes, what about you, mom?

Well, I think that that is what I've been trying to kind of prepare everyone for too, is like when the show comes out, because like, you know, I actually wrote about this on Instagram the other day about how it's like, there's gonna be great comments. Like a lot of people are gonna love the show, but there's also gonna be people who don't love it.

You know, there's gonna be, sometimes it's like, there's haters and there's people who are like, just gonna be hateful anyway. But also some people are just like genuinely like, I don't think this one is good, it's last one. People are gonna say that and they're gonna think that and they're gonna have opinions on, yeah, they're gonna have opinions on

who they like better or whatever. I remember there was a season where it was like, team Jace or team Willie. I'm like, can we just like them both? And so like, that is just going to happen. It's part of the territory. And so yeah, trying to kind of prepare everybody's hearts for that and to know.

And those of us who have kind of been through it before, we're like, OK, we know. But for all the in-laws and stuff like that, it's like, OK, that are new to it, like, OK, just know. Going to get the comments and try not to let it affect you. Willie is like from day one, he's like, I don't read the comments. Do not send me anything where like I would read all the comments or the reviews or things like that. And Willie is like, I really don't want to know like I don't want it to affect how I act or how I am. I want to just be true to me and what I think is right. And I don't want it to affect how I act or how I am. I wanna just be true to me and what I think is right. And I don't wanna be swayed by other people's opinions of it. So he's like hard and fast.

I do not read it. And he encourages y'all not to. He told all the guys, he's like, don't be on social media. Like don't read the comments, because it is hard sometimes to get that, especially cause you know, you work so hard for something and it's also your life.

It's also who you are. So when people say something, it's not like a movie, you're just bad acting. It's like, it's personal. You know, it's like, oh, like that's my family. You know, that's my life. Well, that's good or well, that's bad. Haters are my motivators.

Oh. It could it could be either. That could be both ways. That's one that could be both ways. I think that could be both ways, but I just don't actually think haters are my motivators. Yeah, I'm never motivated by someone that says that. Haters are not on my list of- I'm always discouraged.

But I will say, haters are not on my list of priorities to worry about. Right, yeah. They're not. Me either. I'm not doing. But I will say, haters are not on my list of priorities to worry about. Right. Yeah. They're not. Me either. I'm not doing anything for my haters. I'm not bothered by them. Yeah, it's true.

It's just the way you said that. I'm never thinking about that either. I'm not not posting something because someone's going to hate it or posting something because I'm like, they're going to be what they're going to be, and they're going to say what they're going to say. I can't control their outcome. I can only control myself and what I do.

That was our lifeless and when y'all were little, I was like, nobody makes you do anything. You can only control yourself. Yes. So, yes. I am motivated by love. I actually think it's probably whether it's bad. Because actually God actually created us

to be motivated by encouragement and by love. And definitely motivated by love. Well, I think if you motivate out of hatred, I think you're doing things in spite of something. So, that's just my opinion. Have you gotten a chance to see new sides of your family you didn't know were there? I was gonna say one thing I was thinking about you, Christian,

that I think like I did know was there, but I didn't realize it was gonna translate to this, which is really cool. So like, you know, a lot of people kind of can perceive you as like being more quiet and stuff because you're not gonna be like the loudest guy in a room. But when you're with your friends, you're like so funny. And whenever you're with me, you're so funny. And I did not expect to see you be so confident

in who you are with the film crew. Like, you are so funny with them. They love you. Like, every person on the film crew loves you and loves to film with you because you always are making everybody laugh. And you're like inside jokes with all the producers. And that's been something really cool to see about you, like, thriving this. Because again, like, I was nervous about how how you were gonna like people being in our house,

because sometimes you don't always like people in our house who are introverted, but you've actually like loved it. And it's this side of you I see when you're like with your close friends or when you're just with me. I feel like you're like the healthiest in those spaces, which is really cool. Thank you, that's very sweet. I would agree, you've been, you're so fun.

You've been so fun on the show and so funny. And I think one thing that is a trait of yours that people may not realize that you have, but people who watch you on this may know, but that you'll see on the show is like that, this is a trait that like our family says is like one of our number one traits. And I'm so thankful that you have it,

is being able to laugh at yourself. Like don't take yourself too seriously. Like Christian is able to just have fun in the moment and not be like, not overthink it. Just have fun in the moment and laugh at yourself and make fun of yourself in ways like. Well, thank you. That's very kind of you.

With the pregnancy, him kinda making that comment about my pregnancy, it was really funny because I'm like, babe, you're gonna get flamed by the world, like, you cannot say that, you know, on TV. And then like, you made it funny. Like, I thought it was funny, but I was like, oh, but you can't say that because people aren't gonna know you're kidding.

I like how you are like, no, you know I'm kidding. I know I'm kidding, like, and this is funny, you know? Like you let yourself go like more loose with things. Whereas I'm like, oh, like what are people gonna think about you acting that way? And you're like, it's okay, like we know, you know? I think it's normal for like your husband, like whenever the show first started

and dad was like the CEO, so he was the boss. So he always was kind of like the bad guy, you know? He was like the fun sucker. He walked in the room and all the fun had to stop. And I was like, oh no, people aren't gonna see your funny side. For your husband, you want people to see. You want people to know that they're funny.

Right, yes, but it was like, that was part of his role as the CEO of the company, actually to keep the company running. But I felt like that was the only side of him people were seeing. And I was like, no, no, no. And I remember they made like, you know, they had all this Duck Dynasty merch at the time and they made these stickers and it was like, Jace was holding the frog and Phil was like holding ducks, whatever.

And dad was like holding money. And I was like, no, people are going to think you're like greedy or whatever, you know? And it's like, people can say anything about me. I don't care. You could, like you said, the haters do not bother me at all. They can say anything about me. But when they said it about dad, I'd be like, want to come to his defense?

Yes. That's how I am. I've been like that already, like on our podcast, but I feel like, especially with this show, I'm like, no. But then I'm like, glad that you feel confident enough in who you are to like play yourself, to be yourself. And it's really funny.

Thank you. Cause I think, I think there is that like being cognizant of like we are in a thing right now that is, it seems temporary to where it's like, at least right now, all we know that it's just two seasons. So it's like the retrospect, I don't want to look back and be like, at least right now, all we know that it's just two seasons. So it's like, the retrospect, I don't wanna look back and be like, man, I wish I would have, you know, had more fun with it or tried harder. But we could look up and it's, you know, five seasons.

Like, this is the next 10 years. Or it's like, well, that was a fun eight months, you know? So it's like, I think trying to just be in that moment of, this is a blessing, this is fun, trying to just live in it and not, yeah, I don't want to look back and be like, man, I wish I would have cared less about what people were going to think,

or I wish I would have tried to be funny, like, you know, whatever, so. That's a word, that's good. That's a word, go, babe. Come on, we need to send this to the family. That's good. That's really good. Yeah, because it's like, it could be the next several years, or it literally just could be like,

this was eight months of our life. That's another weird part about production and television, is like, you have to hold it so loosely because you're like, could be, we could be done after two seasons. You don't know if they're gonna pick it back up. If people are gonna watch, are people gonna like it?

Of course, yeah. We're hoping that it gets picked back up. Yeah, we're hoping. We're hoping all you people that listen. That's right. We're hoping we keep going. But yeah, you do have to just kind of like. That's right. We're hoping we keep going. But yeah, you do have to just kind of like take it for what it is. Enjoy the moment. And another way

you don't have control. Christian just went Virgin River. That was not intentional. That was Virgin River. What was you? Virgin River? You watched Virgin River? Yeah. Virgin River was doing just fine before you people showed up. He always does this. Like mad. It's like the townspeople in Virgin River. They were. They were so mad when they showed up. Virgin River was just fine before you people showed up around here. That is very funny. I've never seen Virgin River come out in a minute.

You put your face and everything. Well, I do just channel that kind of acting when I'm in a filming. When you're in a, oh, mom, what you're doing was good. Just the Virgin River guy. Oh, that was great. Oh my gosh. No, I was just saying, it's like,

yeah, you gotta hold it loosely. Be grateful for what it is. And I think that's a good word. Have fun with it. It's a really good word. Sometimes you do look back on life. You're like, why didn't I just enjoy that moment more? You know, and just like live in it.

And I think we can do that with anything in life. Not just like film a television show with like our kids at whatever age they are, are within, you know, whatever you're doing. You're like, wait, that was a sweet moment. Why didn't I just appreciate it and enjoy it while I was there? John Luke has been someone that surprised me a lot too,

because over the years since Dug Dynasty, and I think he would be okay with me saying this, he's like questioned how much he loves the fact that people saw him at such a funny stage of his life. Like he was a teenager, the bumblebee tuna, the wisdom teeth. That is a really good example of, we kind of remember the negative comments or whatever,

his comments weren't even that negative. I mean, they were, they were definitely haters or whatever. But it's like, also he had, he was, his face was on girls' t-shirts and they were like, my boyfriend. Like, he was loved, like, he was a lot of young girls' crush. People were obsessed with him. And all that.

But then also he had the bubble in between a moment people commented on for a long time, so yeah. He was just really goofy and he is goofy. It was our teenage years. It was our teenage years. Like, I'm embarrassed that I was annoyed all the time, and on my phone. That's embarrassing to me.

And it's embarrassing to him that he's so goofy. But he's still that way. That is who he is. And so I've been proud of him for embracing it and loving it and not holding back because of the fear of what people are going to say, because he knows. That's what's been hard, too, is doing it the second time, you know so much.

The first time, you're a little bit more naive to things. So you're like, let's, you know, which is good. I think you need that. Sometimes, what is it? Ignorance is a bliss. You don't know what people are going to say, so it's like, great. But if you already have had all the negative comments, you kind of know what people are going to say.

It can get in your head if you're not careful. If you're not careful. And I'm just really proud of him that he hasn't let that stop him from truly being himself because he has not held anything back, and he is hilarious. He's hilarious on this show. He is so funny. There's an episode where he's hosting a birthday party,

and it's hilarious. That's one of my favorites. Every time Christian sees John Luke come on the screen when we're watching episodes, we just start laughing. You know it's gonna be funny. He's so funny. And he and Cy have been a pair. It's, they're funny together. Which a lot of people have asked about

is Uncle Cy going bad. He's on it a lot and he's funny. He is unhinged in the best way. Yesterday we saw too much of Uncle Cy. Oh, way too much, yeah. You can look forward to it from now. That's for a later episode. We're not, yeah. You can look forward to it. That's for a later episode.

No, we're not seeing that. I think that's season two. It's season two. That's season two. Oh my gosh, yes. Oh my gosh, I know. Oh wow, so much. But yeah, John Luke's been awesome.

He's been so funny. It's been fun to see him kind of thrive in that. There's something I was gonna say. It's been fun to just see everybody's personalities come out and like, you know, And we say, I think on television, you're seeing one aspect of somebody a lot of times, because they only have, in this case, we had 23 minutes for Dictonacy.

This takes 43 minutes. It's an hour episodes, you're seeing a little bit more of everybody, but still it's kind of, one aspect of your life is short, which is why it's nice to have podcasts and books and stuff like that to where you guys kind of like know more of our lives. But it's just been really sweet and fun to see

everybody's personalities just like come alive and emerge on the show in different ways. And even the kids, like their little personalities are just thriving on the show too. And it's been so cute to see. That is kind of the bummer too, of like getting the edits back, is because you know how funny the day was,

and all the things that happen, and then it does have to get condensed into a short moment, and you're like, ah! And it's kind of like writing a book, like you mentioned earlier, when you write a book, then you get your first round of edits back, and it's like crushing,

you're like, no, like where did all this stuff go? But it's like they're making it better, and then you're like, no, like where did all this stuff go? But it's like they're making it better and then you bring back your collaboration then you end up being really proud of what it became. But it's kind of like that in the editing process now because you'll get it. You lose a lot and you're like, wait,

that was so funny or why didn't that make it in? But like it's for the whole show, you know, to be a good episode. And it's been fun to see how it's all come together. But last night we were watching something and I was like, oh, they didn't put that in there. And I like told Christian what I said. He's like, oh, that's hilarious.

I wish they put that in there. So there's some things you see and you're like, oh, that was funnier. You feel like it was funnier or whatever. But it's so fun to see all these things that we've been doing on camera. And I really think families are gonna relate a lot. I think we've said this since the beginning,

we hope that you watch it and you see yourself in it. You see your siblings in it, your parents in it, your grandparents in it, or maybe it reminds you of your grandparents. I feel like it's gonna be such a good show for families to watch together and kind of relate to different ones of us because everyone has that one super competitive person

in their family, or the kid who is losing it and the mom's like, okay, well, here we are. You know, it's just, it's real life. Yeah. It's real life. That's all the question about, is there gonna be faith in it? And I said this the first time around, this time around, it's like, it's who we are, it's a part, it affects everything we do in life.

Faith for us is not just like what we do on Sunday morning. It's like, it's who we are. It's how we relate as family. It's how we relate as parents and husbands and wives and employers and employees and all that. So yes, it's definitely, faith is a part of it. And you know, you will have, we do have the prayers at the end,

just like we did the first time around, because it's what we do when we get around the dinner table and there'll be some elements of seeing some of what you do with Live Original and all that too. So I think that's gonna be really special. I had to pull up my Bible because I read this the other day. And I was like, that is so good because I because I read this the other day.

And I was like, that is so good. Because I was doing an interview the other day. We've been doing a lot of press lately. And someone said, is your faith going to be an aspect that you show on the show? And I was like, absolutely. That's not something that we choose to show or not show. It's who we are.

We're always going to be that way. So it's always going to be a part of it. And she was like, oh, that's really cool that Like, you know, that y'all live like that. And I was reading this and I was like, man, this is so how I feel about when it comes to like faith, if you're gonna show it in this aspect of your life or not showing this aspect of your life and how it's really like such an interesting thing

that we even talk like that at this day as believers. Because back in the early church, you would have never, if you were a believer, it wouldn't have been like, are you going to share this or are you not? Yes, you're gonna share it. It radically changed your life. And in Acts four, this is after, you know,

the spirit just fell in the church and Peter and John are going out and about and they just healed a man, like literally healed a man that had been lame for like 40 years or whatever. And everyone is just amazed that this man is healed. Well, then they, you know, the people are mad that they're healing people and saying about the resurrection of Jesus. And so they arrest Peter and John and they're basically saying like you can't you can't talk about Jesus anymore.

Like you got to stop that, you know, that's that's not cool. And anyways, they they keep talking about it. They say, rulers, then Peter filled with the Spirit said to them, rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means has this man been healed? Let it be known to all of you and to the people of Israel that this was by the name of Jesus Christ, who was crucified whom God raised from the dead.

By him this man is standing before you well." This Jesus, he goes on to talk more about Jesus. Then it says, now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, they perceive that they were uneducated men, common men, and they were astonished. And they recognize that they had been withated men, common men, and they were astonished. And they recognize that they had been with Jesus, which I love that because like,

they're not supposed to be talking about this. And I love how it says when they noticed the men were uneducated and common, but they had been filled with the Spirit because of their boldness, that's what made them astonished. It wasn't that a man just got healed, who was crippled and now can walk.

It was their boldness and their faith. And they were just uncommon men. Then it goes on to say, but seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition. Like what else could they say? Well, they commanded them to leave the council and said to one another,

what shall we do to these men? For that was a notable sign that has been performed through them. And it's evident to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. We can't deny it. But in order that it may spread no further, let us warn them not to speak any more in this name." So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach

in the name of Jesus. This is the verse I was getting to. But Peter and John answered them, whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge. Verse 20, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and what we have heard. And I was like, man, I think that's so the answer

to that question. Like, are you gonna share your faith? We cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard. We can't but live what we have radically been transformed by. And that doesn't mean we're preaching on the show and that doesn't mean that that's what the whole show is about, but it's who we are. And if we are who we are on the show,

then we're people of faith. And I think that it's just, that's just authentically the most true thing about us. So it bleeds into everything we do. And I love reading that because I was like, man, that's it right there. most true thing about us, so it bleeds into everything we do. And I love reading that, because I was like, man, that's it right there. We cannot but speak of it. Yeah, that's good.

I was going to say, Matthew 7, Jesus is talking and He says that, you know, that you will recognize His disciples by their fruits. And I think if we had a show and there was just a prayer at the end, but there was no fruit, then I think it would just be like faith adjacent, right? But what makes it-

It's connection. Yeah, but what makes it faith centered is not just that there's a prayer at the end, but that you can watch the whole episode and you see fruit. You see love, you see serving one another, you see joy, you see family and forgiveness and reconciliation and all those things. So, I think the faith-centered aspect, it's, yeah, you can watch something that's relatable and that, yeah, you see disciples like what Jesus talks about that are bearing

fruit and they're trying to live authentic lives. So, the prayer is incredible and I think it's gonna bring so many people together, but that necessarily is not what makes it faith centered Is that we all are we all are trying to live like disciples and transformed by the Spirit. Yeah. That's great. It's so good. Well, I cannot wait for y'all to see the show. We can't wait for you guys to watch it together, share and see your comments.
