We have a special quasi guest.I mean, she's in here enough.I don't know that we have to call her, I guess, but Bella's back.
It's a podcast, you have to say something, you can't just wave.
I forgot, I forgot, it's not video only.
I mean, there is video.Hey look, she was doing what you normally do, looking good.
I always watch podcasts on YouTube, so I'm used to that.
Bella was just waving at the radio.Bella, I got a question.
Not y'all's, but I do watch podcasts.I don't listen to them.
Yeah, okay.So she watches the one she's on.She doesn't watch us on a random Tuesday. Not that microphone apparently.Um, Bella question.We've had this issue brought up with other female guests we've had in the past.Um, so you've been on both podcasts.
Do you prefer this one or perhaps the whoa, that's good podcast.I'm just curious.
Oh, that's deep.That's deep.
You can say it.We are grown men in here.You're not going to hurt our feelings.
I think that the Why That's Good podcast, they give me at least a little bit more direction and planning beforehand.When this one, I just get here and I'm like, what are we talking about?I don't know.Let's start.
That's what Allison said, too, and I don't get it.
So would you argue which one involves more talent?
One that has a plan or one that kind of wings it and makes it work? Shooting from the hip here.
I don't know.I feel like this one is less intimidating because it's more casual, but then also it's more intimidating because I have no idea what I'm going to talk about until we get here.
Well, see, that's the beauty of it.That's the fun of it too.That is the beauty.That's what makes this machine work is that we don't know. Of course we don't have a team of people.We are the team.
So like, I mean, say, Hey, here's my deal.
Okay.You plan it all out.Here's what we're going to do.
And then you throw it in and it gets derailed anyway.
And then it don't work.And then panic says, now, what are you going to do?The plan didn't work.Amen, buddy.
Well, y'all's is easier to go with us.
There is no plan.So there's no anticipation of anything.
Whatever happens.Terrible.No expectations that people think it might be.Yeah.So they go in, they're like, could be good, could be terrible.And then they're happy either way.
There you go.I like it.Hey, at least she's honest.She said ours is less than two, which is what we want to be.We want to be a friendly space that invites conversation.
Y'all's is easier cause there's not, there's more people too, because on Sadie's it's like all the spotlight is on you.And here I can just kind of sit back and let Uncle Si talk if I wanted to.
Well, amen sister.That's what, that's what the other three people in here are for.Just the steer the old man.
And the other podcasts around here.
Well, no, but Hey, the fun part of it is you never know what's going to come out of this mind.I agree with that, buddy.Okay.And look, that's, Oh, that's so refreshing.Cause you have no idea where I'm going to go or what rabbit I'm going to chase.
What, you know, where question do you, yeah, you know where you're going to go. No, no, you don't either.No, we know.Nobody knows.No, only the father in heaven.
Hey, I don't even think, you know, well, I guess he does, though.I was going to say, yeah, yeah.But hey.
I took that verse to heart, pick up your cross and follow.He just following his own rabbit.
Other podcasts, you know, you go in there and they're going to be like, Oh, let's talk about the Ethiopian eunuch and what that means.Uh, and we could, but we're probably going to talk about flying through the cosmos instead.
Yeah, or buffaloes or Oh, no, I just saw that right there.
Well, see, I would love to be able to do it.And but I know I can't do what I would love to go through the cloud of Saturn.OK, and actually see what Saturn really looks like.
I bet you didn't have that one on your list.
They fly around this thing all the time and they have, huh?Who is that?It's the world, the world, the ones that says space vehicles up.
He's talking about like satellites.Okay.So they send stuff around all the time and look, they go by it and go through the cloud, but they can't see nothing.Can't get back.
All right, well, I'm just saying they can't see nothing fella quick life on Saturn.Yes or no?
They are right in.I would have said if they'd asked me, I said, wait a minute, you got to be real careful there.OK, because you really can't answer that. Well, yeah, we're just guessing.
Yeah, actually, I don't know.I was just saying, yes.
I'm more of a like, I really don't know.
I'm more of a like, why not?
Kind of guy.Hey, it's on this planet.
Why not the rest of them?
Hey, on that it's not what you know, it's who you know.The average temperature of Saturn is negative 290.Wow.
Yeah, no, I'm out.All they doing is ice fishing.
Now the moons have a better chance of inhabiting life.
Yeah, but the moon's got a problem.What?Got way too many rats on it.It's made out of cheese.
Are Saturn's moons also made of cheese?
Hey, I have another question.Do you think there's a Psy teacup on Saturn?
Probably what I was fixing.There may be a treasure.Whoever can get to it.Okay.Uh, Bella is, is it signed or unsigned?
Probably signed.So you've been here a little over a year now, right?Officially in the world of retail and the world of retail.And she just recently discovered. One of our bigger issues from back in the day.
Are we going to announce that we had an issue?Have we ever discussed that?
In public?Was I involved in this issue?Yeah, it was your fault.
No, not me.It wasn't your fault.
People loved you so much.It was your fault.I still have nightmares.
Oh, I know what issue it is.Okay.
So Bella, 10 years post-Duck Dynasty. That's where we're at.How many side teacups do we have left?How many did you finally realize that we have?
Okay.So going into it, I thought we had about like 10,000 and that was my guess from looking at the boxes.That's too many.Okay.That was too many.That was too many for me already.And I, grossly misjudged the number.Okay.
As someone who quit.Oh, what's your, your last name ain't Robertson.Okay.You're you're good.I was fixed.I, she just said, Oh, I really grossly over, overjudged something.Underestimate.
Hold on.Let me guess.Cause I used to be a little bit in charge of trying to get rid of teacups. And I know the number that was three years ago probably, but I haven't looked at it since because I walked away from that.
Do y'all still have 150,000 teacups?Oh no.
No, but that's great to know that that was three years ago because we've come a long way.
I threw away about 50,000.
We now have 116,000. 116,000?Maybe 115,000 now after this month, but yes.
Well, whoever's in supply here.Look, it's not the same person.
Hey, buddy, this supply is older than the prayers. This summer.This was pre-Carter.Yeah, this is pre-Carter Owen.
What's the plan for this summer?
No, this past summer, I was like on a high thinking we just did the best thing ever.We sold over 3,000 side cups this summer and I was like, we are just chipping away at this.This is amazing.
She came in my office and told me, I was like, so we got about 40 years to go, right?
No, I did the math.On the trajectory we're on right now, it'll be about 19 years.
19 years to get rid of them?Yep.So how old will you be in 19 years?
Well, I'm 36.33, because he says he's 14.
At 95 years old, we will have sold the last side teacup in existence.
Well, without y'all's help, this is a shameless plug.Will y'all please order some of these things?
I need to pull them up on duck commander.com.
We may even like buy one, get one or something.
And the sad part too is, well, we do have a deal going where if you buy four for 20, but anyway, I went to talk to Harry.I was like, so what, how many did we order?Cause surely we had to have ordered like a million of these.We have 116,000.
10 years ago, we ordered 244,000.So we've only gone down 100,000 in 10 years.Yeah.
And y'all had this TV show called Duck Dynasty at that time that was really moving a lot of them.
Hey, Sad, you didn't ask him about the initial order.Because there was a bunch of them then too.
There it is, ladies and gentlemen.There she is.
Uncle Si Tea Cup.But to be fair, to be fair,
No one on the history of the planet Earth had ever been in a business, probably our size, and then had a TV show that went to that size, that had a personality of the guy sitting next to me this size, and said, how many cups should we order?
It was an impossible situation.
And there were all kinds of other ones, too, selling for cheaper on different websites and everything, so I'm sure... It was a conglomerate of who could have guessed how many, but we still got them.
We still got me and Phillip are doing our part because we, we sell them and give them away at every event we go to.
I've made Phillip a very aggressive offer on teacups.So basically I said, if you'll take them with you, you can have them.
Yeah.When I worked here, I just used them as disposable cups.Yeah.You can get a new one.Never washing them.
Now we need to come up with, hey, let's see, how can we melt it and what else can we make out of the uncle side teacup that call recycled plastic?
Oh, hey, that's a good idea.
Yeah, that's that's expensive, though.So what if you come up could come up with like a hula hoop?OK, they they sold me a lipstick.Thanks. That's just what we need a duck commander.
Hold on the Uncle Si hula hoop.We buy a Super Bowl commercial of him hula hooping in front of the teacups and we're billionaires.
Why wouldn't we just throw the teacups away?
That's too easy, Martin.It seems to be a lot easier.
That's too easy.I can't even think of a name.Let's throw this donkey away.Yeah, anyway.
Well, let's take a break.
Yeah, let's go to happier times.
Yeah, we'll be right back.
Talking about tea, I know what I'm talking about, okay?I've been drinking it for 76 years.My mama probably had it in my bottle where milk used to be.Y'all, sweet tea is the best tea your taste buds ever have experienced in your life.
Hey, other teas give me the X. This tea is giving me main character energy for real, for real, no cap.Hey, I'm telling you, this is like sipping pure sunshine. It's tasty enough to have you vibing all day long.
Hey, look on the package, it says y'all's sweet tea.Okay, but look, it's really, it comes either way.You have to actually add sugar.Look, you put anything you want to in here.This ain't just any tea, it's V-tea.You sip it.
then you'll be flexing your Southern drip.I mean, you feel me, baby?Visit y'allsweettea.com, and when you use promo code DUCK at checkout, guess what, boys?They take 10% off your order.Hey, who don't like to save money?
That's Y-A-L-L-sweettea.com, promo code DUCK. to get 10% off of your order today.Hey, y'all need to listen to that guy right there.
That sucker just said in an ad, Martin, something about his southern drip.
Take a sip and flex your southern drip.
Other tees give him the... I didn't even understand half of what you said.Other tees give him the F. That's my favorite.
I didn't need that.I wouldn't have said it.
If I have a southern drip, I'm going to the doctor.That's all I'm saying. I'm just saying, if something's dripping from the South, I'm going to the doctor.I mean, we got an issue.
You only like miss talking about a Riz is the only thing I've heard that I don't understand.He said no cap.
Are you playing for coach prime now?Like, I mean, are you a, are you a Colorado Buffalo?Like I can be who fed you those words.
Bella, we're going to need you to translate that ad for most of our fans.
Just so I'm not confused.What is no cap?Which one is that?I believe that means, are you lying to me?
I mean, just like, I'm telling like the truth.Yeah.I ain't kidding.It's the truth.
What's the worst?We would have said I'm dead serious.And now the kids say, Hey, not what I'm saying is the truth.
Okay.That's like when they, that's like when you ask somebody something and their answer is yes, but they say bet.
Now it's the same amount of letters.Like, why not just say yes.Why do I have to bet on it?Uh, yeah, there's a lot of this stuff.I don't understand.I never thought I'd get to that point.
I'm that age.You got to put money on it.Whenever I was like, I don't understand what the kids are saying, but now we've come home and say stuff like.
You know, check out my presidential drip.He's he's used a few of them.Oh, OK.
And I don't I don't want to bring it up.It gives me bad nightmare.I'm like, who are you talking to?
And what are you talking?Yeah.Like, oh, man.Yeah.Drew used to.But I mean, I feel like some of that stuff's like five years old.Drew used to post like honey hole drip, new honey hole drips.
A normal drip is kind of old.
I'm 50.No cap is pretty old, too.
What's a new one?Can you give us a new one?
Riz is like charisma, like Uncle Si's got Riz.
I've been trying to figure out where Riz came from for probably two years now.That's people that struggle with them silent- Charisma.
Well, they struggle with them silent letters.So they can spell R-I-Z-Z, but they can't spell C-H-A-R-I-S-M-A.
You know what the scariest part about that is?What?People that talk like that can vote.I said it. Our fans are like that.
Interesting.Well, there you go, sir.You're a genius.God, I love you, man.You're fantastic.
I just, Hey, I got a guy I got to talk to.He just hits the lights.What about the cup deal?What?Oh boy.
He might get rid of all of them.All of who?Oh, Mark.Oh, we've tried this with Brewster.
Oh, you try.Oh yeah.Let's say a lot of coaster failed.Well, sir. It's a lot of cups.Well, normally he can sell anything.Ty, if you can't sell the teacup.
Just let that marinate for a little bit. But this ain't 20,000.I wasn't very good.
Hold on.I'm actually going to do a little quick math here.I mean, 116,000 divided by this number.So if you were to use a brand new teacup every day, yeah.
From the time you were born until the time you were 317 years old, you would still have a couple of teacups left.It's like Abraham Lincoln at two 15 could still be using these teacups.That's how many we have.
Yeah.So, I mean, so yeah, folks, if you're looking for a great Christmas gift, but Hey, here's the deal.
We're not, we're not going to go back to the thing we've come up with one day.If it's known it's manageable. Yeah, oh it's known.
We know now.It's not manageable sometimes.
Hey, yeah it is.It's manageable.We just gotta get the right... It's manageable.
And if you come into the store and you buy a teacup, you get free sweet tea.
That's how we've been selling a lot of them.
There you go.I said, hey, if it's known, it's manageable.They got a dirty cup to take home.Do they wash it?
We don't care if they throw it in the garbage.I mean, treat that thing like a solo cup.We don't care.I mean, that ain't our department.Do whatever you will with it.
Bring back the mystery box.
That was my pride and joy.
I bought a Saints mystery box on the internet that came in the mail and it was just a bunch of garbage from the New Orleans Saints.I was like, this is terrible.And Stephanie, who worked down the hall from me goes, we should do that.
And I looked at her and said, we should do this.
We did put one quality item in every box.
Now there was a lot of quality items.There was a side bobble head.
There was a, oh, I would kill to have those right now.
A duck call.If you ever want to know, it was like eight teacups.You ever, them boys ever get talking about who was the most famous on that show?
There was only two bobble heads we were sold out of. That man and his brother.We still had plenty of Jace, we still had plenty of Willie, and we still had plenty of Miss Kay.I'm going to tell it to you.
Well, let me tell you, they're at that landfill, wherever the whoa boy dumpsters took them, that's where they're at.
Uh, we have the ornaments right now and we sold out of all the sirens.
You sold out of saccharine, except for recently we opened some Willie boxes and there were sign in the Willie boxes.
So that was good because we can get rid of them.Those Willie ones are a tougher sale.I'm trying to find a video I have on my phone from like 2015. I set up bobble heads in the warehouse and was throwing softballs at them just for fun.
I remember that.We had a lot of stuff going on.
Yeah.It was, it was wild.We had, we had a warehouse full of stuff that would not sell.Now we just have somebody else's warehouse cause my buddy. play who's been on this podcast is, has hoarding tendencies.
And he showed up on Johnny D and I were cleaning out the warehouse and said, y'all stop.I have a warehouse.You can put this in, but, but, but we don't want it.Like, you don't understand.I don't want to ever say it again.We don't.And now guess what?
We're moving back in 116,000 teacups. Because of my friend.
Yeah.Very, very sweet.Very sweet, wonderful Clay.So you may never see him on the podcast again, but it's fun.
Every penny counts, Martin.Hey.We just, we had a car for 12 years.We had to buy a new one.It was time, but now we got a new bill at the house.So I'm watching everything like a hawk, but I don't have to do that.Rocket Money watches it for me.

But with that, that's the old, what about the new?Look, I'm wearing something new right here.I finally have my own hat.
Your own hat?You've got it, this is Martin's hat.
This is called the Martin, okay.Which I was strongly opposed to, but however, here's what I can confirm.
You never told me you were opposed to it.
I don't like anything with my name on it.I'm not that guy.Does that say your name on it?No, that's just what it is in the system.However, For you folks at home, if you are looking for a big head friendly hat, head over to honey, this one will work.
Okay.Yeah.Johnny D got big head too.So I'm not trying to outcompete.No, I was joking.I'm just saying we have one that will fit big heads now and fit them.Well, like most of my hats kind of have a little, no, this one's good.
So if you need to, do you need a big head friendly hat for Christmas?I got you. This is, and this all came about cause somebody sent me one and I took a picture and sent to Jennifer and I was like, Hey, this hat actually fits big heads.
So there you go.Yeah.Brand new, brand new.Get it now.I don't know.But anyway, so Bella, how is life in the store after a full year at duck commander working in the family business?What are your thoughts?
Hmm, what are my thoughts?
Yeah, this is fine.Your dad doesn't listen, so it doesn't matter.Your mom does sometimes, so be careful.
Yeah, no, your mom will listen because you're on.Yeah.
No, I love it.It's fun.We have a lot of fun up here.
What's your favorite thing about working here?
I mean, the CyCups is like the bane of my existence, but... You didn't hit K, did you?
I was trying to make social media stuff. And then it didn't, it was never got used, but yeah, you can't knock K's head.Y'all bad mouth me for taking a nap.What I never bad mouth.
I was trying to come up with a plan for people to destroy the products that they bought and then post them on social media.That was my thought.Like.
We're gonna sell bobbleheads and whoever destroys it in the best way, we're gonna give a trip and it never came to fruition.
Well, I could have told them how to do that.Go to Salvation Army, buy your machine gun and ammo.Yeah, that would have been a fun video.I had set them up and, hey, have a blast.
Instead, Kay's head just goes tumbling.
We have one in the store right now.Like we just have them kind of like as decoration since we don't actually have them anymore.And we have this one of Jace that's headless.
But we have the head separately.I always try to glue it on and it never works.It just falls off randomly.
Oh my goodness.But how is the reason?I kind of interrupted that with the video.
No, yeah, that's what your favorite thing about working at Duck Commander.What's your favorite thing? I like this, this is fun.This is an exercise I do.
Did your dad do you a favor by hiring you?Yeah.What am I looking for?
To be fair.Entrap you forever to the world.
No, I'll say my favorite thing and it's actually not funny.It's actually serious.
But my favorite thing is honestly seeing all the old like footage and pictures of Papaw Phil and all the family and like the nostalgia of like, this is, you know, my family, you know, that's my favorite part.
You are surrounded by every day of family history.
Yeah, that's really cool part of it.
Okay, so now we know your favorite.What's your least favorite?
There we go.That's the fun part.
Oh, ding, ding, ding, ding.One day, get a softball and just start throwing stuff at them.You can't get away from them, boy.
Or you just have Hunter walk by them and they fall down.
Yeah, and then knock them over.
It doesn't matter.Just don't let Hunter near their pallets.
You want to know what one of my favorite parts of working here was?
Midday soccer. Uh-oh, that's Bella.
Messing with Willie and Corey's kids when they were- Oh, that's Bella.Bella, what?That was right beside the video.We were trying to sell Psy Cups and Bella would always be passed out random nooks and crannies in the office or in somebody's car.
Now, she would sleep like Psy.That's so true.And I don't know if you still can, but she could sleep like Psy anywhere.
I literally woke her up and screamed at her.
You're tired, you're tired, boy.
When Will used to drive me to school every day, he would want to leave for school so early.And so I would ride with him and I would just sleep in the car and he would get out of the car and leave me going to school.
And I would just sleep until the bell rang and I would jump up and hear the bell and run into school every day.
I'm more of an online school kind of girl.
Schools start at 8 a.m.Why not?If you can do it, why not?Are the store hours now that you're in charge, like noon to 4?
They're 9 to 5.9 to 5, baby.Just checking.
Got her.Oh, man, I really didn't peg the teacups as the least favorite.That was I mean, that's funny.
It's I don't even I mean, who cares at this point?Like me?Wow.You didn't do it.Me.You didn't do it.Yeah, but it's nothing that you did.I mean, we're not going to throw shade.
Somebody did not think this through.
We started to do we had that plan back in the day of like having you filming you like at a desk, like you were actually back working here and falling asleep on the computer and ordering like, Oh, however many we got, like your head just fell off.
I actually have a really funny idea for a video for the teacups that I need you involved in.
Oh, he'll do it.Because, because if you really, cause all my military career, I was, I was in supply.So, and I was very good.
There was a, there was a lot of officers that come into my shop and said, Hey, you don't hand me a requisition, say I need this.And I said, I'll have to order it.I would look at it.Just say how I started.Well, I think they'll blow a gasket.
He said, you don't understand.I'm 82nd airborne.We're fixing to go to war.I need it now. And I said, well, dude, you guys wait, because you don't understand I'm zero balance.
Yeah.So you didn't get that gene of white.We're scared to run out of something.Yeah.Yeah. I didn't either, like, I don't mind running zero.
Cause I was always checking.Okay.Yeah.And keeping on top of everything.
Johnny D's Johnny D's got that gene in him.I see.I go to the honey hole.I know there ain't, they ain't ever out of anything.
There is currently about 80 boxes of rods on the front porch of the honey hall right now that I have to go back and sort, which I will say for you guys.
Y'all don't make your own products.So I mean, other than shirts and hats.So like to have a good retail store, you gotta have stuff.
If you ain't got it, they ain't coming back.
Well, they ain't gonna buy it.That's what I'm saying.
They're going somewhere else.However, when you make the product, it's okay to run out every once in a while.
Can I tell you a story that's funny about retail?That's not an issue.Because I come from a retail family.My uncle runs a certain grocery store.I won't say which one, but it's not based out of Arkansas.
Yeah, it's, it's really, it's a super one.Um, but he used to, uh, back in his more nefarious days, like before the 4th of July, he would go into the competitor out of Arkansas, like a Mart beside a wall.Um, and he would buy all their ketchup.
That way, when people would go to Walmart, they'd be like, this place never has ketchup.I'm never coming back here and get pissed.
That's a good idea.It's not a terrible idea.
Other than you got to come off the hip for the.Well, then he just put them on his shelf.Yeah.I mean, yeah, he could at least get his money back, I suppose.
But he was making like two cents a piece instead of, you know, 50 points or whatever he was making off of it. No, it's interesting.I always wonder, you know, cause like we worked here through the time.
It was always fun to try to guess what the kids that were going to come back in the business.So.Bella, you were probably the last guess.
I mean, I probably had Bobby lower than Bella and so far.
No, Bobby was higher.Bobby was definitely higher.Will.
Cause he was going to have to, like you just expected him to be like, well, you got to come back. It's a necessity for you to come back because this is the only place that will hire you.But for Bella, we thought, I'm just kidding.
I'm just messing with.Will's actually crushing it out in Texas on his own, which is awesome. I got Martin with that one.
That's a good one.I can't say that because I still work here, but you can say whatever you want.Yeah, I'm just laughing.But yeah, I would have had Bobby below Bella, so so far still good.But y'all were definitely the bottom two.No doubt about that.
To run as far away from this place as they could get.
What time's pickleball today, Bella?
I don't know, maybe you play pickleball in the middle of the day too.
She's here, she doesn't go to recess.
Jay Stone is visibly upset every time he finds out people play pickleball, not at the time that Jay would play it.
Yeah, not after work hours.Not after standard working hours.
Hey, you may have heard us talking about the Federal Duck Stamp Program because we love ducks and we love conservation, but today we're here to tell you about another great program that supports education and conservation.
That's the Junior Duck Stamp Program.The Junior Duck Stamp Program connects kids to conservation through art.It's a creative way for students to learn about wetlands, waterfowl, and the importance of protecting our natural world.
Students spend time learning about wetlands and waterfowl conservation, and then they submit their own artwork to a national contest.
Thousands of young artists from across the country participate each year with their awesome wildlife art reflecting their passion for nature.
And each year, the winning artwork is turned into a collectible stamp that directly supports wildlife habitats.And it's just a cool way to give back.If you head over to duckstamp.com, you'll see this year's winner, Emily from Oregon. She from Oregon?
It's a King Eider.How kids can draw like that is unbelievable.I couldn't have even spelled Eider at that age.Yeah.
It's unbelievable because whether you're into birdwatching, wildlife photography, or simply just love nature, buying a junior duck stamp is a small way to make a big impact.
Every junior duck stamp sold helps fund conservation education programs, encouraging the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts. So visit your local National Wildlife Refuge, a post office, or just shop online to purchase your Junior Duck Stamp.
Your purchase supports educational initiatives that give kids the knowledge and tools they need to protect our wetlands for future generations.So get the kids involved because they're gonna have it in the future.
So visit duckstamp.com to learn more and purchase your own Junior Duck Stamp.Remember, every stamp makes a difference.Head to duckstamp.com and add a Junior Duck Stamp to your order today.
I played with Allison the other day, and Drew told me he said, Allison's the only person I know who loves pickleball as much as Jacob.I was like, that is scary.
Yeah, she's obsessed with it.
Is she really?Yeah.What's she like more, pickleball or that new griddle?
She's pretty good.She's got a good serve.
Not as good as Jacob.Jacob's unfortunate. Jacob was like fun to play with and now he's not.Well, I think Pickleball- Cause he just beats you real bad.
Him and Drew though, they go at it.The other day Drew beat him.
The problem is they're hustling an old man's game.Like this was designed for old country club men.They couldn't play tennis no more.Yeah, exactly.Yeah.And then a bunch of young kids started playing it and they're like, well, this sucks.
Like, you know, now they're back to playing regular golf out there at the country club.Like they got off of it cause young boys moved in and started taking all their money, you know?
That's just, that's an unfortunate truth that what Pickleball was designed for.
It's a bunch of guys that sell hats and t-shirts on the internet.And then by two o'clock they got all their orders filled and they're out there.That's, that's the job.
Jacob sells vintage clothes.What's, what's his website?
General Vintage.There you go.
There you go.And he's got all sorts of stuff.General Vintage.Yeah.You ever want somebody else's old clothes, Jacob's the guy to call.It's, it's the most genius thing I've ever seen.
Come by our house, it's crazy.
And he's actually making money doing it?Yeah, it's crazy.Si, I'm telling you.
He sells some shirts for a crazy amount to him.
And he's the one hustling and finding them.It's like 19-8, look, right now on his website.You need to talk to Jacob about them stupid cups.
They're not old enough to be vintage yet.
Not yet.Yeah.He's the one that's going to have to sell them one day.Look, he's just got size pants from the eighties and people are going to buy them.Wow.It's brilliant is what it is.And then he gets to play pickleball at two.
Meanwhile, I'm sleeping out a cricket cage and stones trying to kill people with his hands.
It's all make it out like a big deal, but he goes like to jujitsu at like 3 PM.So, I mean, like, but I mean, it's not that much different.That's all I'm getting at.Like, it's just a weird, everybody's got their own thing.It's a bizarre thing.
So Bella going in the holiday season, what are you most excited about?It's retail.Like this time you actually have fun, move stuff, move product.What are you most excited about going into the holiday season?
I'm excited about a lot of the new products we're having this winter.We have a really, really cool coffee can for Christmas.
Yeah, it was on your desk the other day.
That's really cool.Uncle, I mean, how about Phil?Looks like Santa.It's really cute. And I'm excited about that.I'm excited about all the people coming in the store and decorating the stores.My favorite part.
There you go.Yes, the store always looks better at Christmas time.Yeah, the world smells better, too, because I'll put like some pines in and something like it.It smells it smells like Christmas, like it's a cool deal.So.
If you are in the area, stop by, see what Bella's doing in there.She's moving and shaking, man.I legitimately, not because you're sitting here, I tell the people, I have been super proud of the job that you're doing in that store. That's real.
That's authentic.That's not just because you're here because I mean, you know, we got a close enough relationship.I'd trash you if I needed to.But but you give me no reason to.Thank you.Yeah, it's it's fun.It's fun working with you.
I never thought I'd get to say that, but it is fun working with Bella as a guy. Used to be her chauffeur.Toughest part of that job was just waking her up.
Yeah.As a guy who used to quasi work for her, now I work with her.So it's- And she's crushing it.Yeah, she is.She's killing it.
Thank you.I was just about, but I was shopping here while we're sitting here on Jacob's website and I found the world's greatest t-shirt.
That's Shania Twain from 1999.That is my size.
Oh, wow.Do people pay that, Bella?A hundred bucks?
But you should see the stuff.Don't get me wrong, but a hundred dollars?
You should see the stuff he sells on eBay.That's where he still sells like his collector's items.Crazy.
He sold shirts for like $700 for a shirt.
Really?Was Shania Twain on it?
What's on the $700 shirt?
You need to invite- Like Harley Davidson or something.
You need to invite Jacob to your house.And y'all need to work a business deal, because you got closets full of stuff that'd be vintage at this point.
If you could find that SI jacket, you could sell that thing for me.
Because of his job, every time we go anywhere, we have to go to all the vintage thrift stores and stuff he wants to go to.When we were in Paris a few years ago or last year, we went to Paris, France.
We went to this thrift store thing, and we found three or four Uncle Sash shirts in the thrift store in Paris, France.
Oh, praise God.I bet.I bet.I know the company that bought those two to originally get them there.I sold them to him.Oh, the OZO international shirts everywhere.Yeah.Hey, he's a, he's an international superstar.
I got to give Jacob his props.He has a t-shirt on his website that says an entire evening with John Michael Montgomery.That is phenomenal.
Life's a dance, right? Oh man.I went down to the ground.
He's got a shirt with about anybody you can think of on it.
Well, he's the antique dealer is what he really is.
Yeah.Except it's clothes that other people.
Well, no, no, but that's pretty cool.Okay.This is it really is.
We got Jeff Gordon shirt for $125.It can be yours.
He does have that he kept for himself.It's a, uh, duck commander 500.
Oh, that one's not worth it.He can not wear it up here.
He wears it all the time.
Do you know what's got more scar tissue than them teacups?That NASCAR race. All three years of it.Well, no, I just, here's my issue with NASCAR.I love y'all NASCAR people.We got to figure out a way where these races don't go to Monday.
Cause everyone we sponsored never happened on Sunday. That's true.I mean, we never completed it on Sunday.Like, we need a dome, we need something, or they need some water tires and windshield wipers, or something.
Cause like, we always sat there till midnight. They'd call the race.We'd spend another night.We'd have to do it Monday at one o'clock or something goofy.And then we didn't get home till Monday night slash Tuesday morning sometime.
So I knows he was at all of them too.I mean, we, those were the longest days that we ever have where that Saturday and Sunday at Texas motor speedway, I remember was the chicken strips in the suite. But yeah, and we had to pay for that.She was 14.
Well, we had to pay for that.It was ridiculous.You pay to sponsor the race and you don't even get free food.
I need to go buy some scratch off tickets and then I'm going to Jacob's website and going wild.
Just come to the warehouse and there's all kinds of crazy stuff.
Just go shopping at her house.Like Bella don't care.They got too much stuff anyway, don't they?Look at her.So does Jacob have inventory problems? Oh, so you're surrounded by inventory problems.
But Jacob's inventory is so different, I can't even help him because everything is one of one, so it's like- That's true.You can't count.You really can't keep up with it.
He just buys stuff, throws it on the website.I mean, it really is genius.
It's a mess, but there's so much stuff.We have tens of thousands of pieces of clothes.
Because if you wanted a 1999 Sting Out of the Darkness faded T-shirt, There's only one guy that's got it, and it's Jacob Mayo.
Wow.I wasn't even thinking about the wrestler.I thought we were talking about the musician.
No, the wrestler fetched way more money than the musician.Wow.Yeah, musicians don't get paid no money.And then there's a lot of cool, like, if you were a Braves fan, there's your 1998 Atlanta- Oh, when they were good?Oh, zing.
But yes, when they were good.
Well, I guess you could order.Do you buy stuff now in the hopes that one day it'll be vintage?
Every time I've ever done that, it does not work out.
Say the Dodgers win the World Series.Should you buy one of each size and just hold them back for 15 years and say, oh, vintage World Series shirt, never worn.I don't know.I'm just curious.
My dad has collected quite a bit of stuff like that.But he's given some to Jacob to sell.
Your dad has got more than hoarding tendencies.He's an actual hoarder.
Well, Jacob is too.Jacob's definitely a hoarder.But thankfully, he sells it.
Yeah, he's hoarding for a purpose.
Yeah.Yeah, Willie just hoards stuff because it's there.It's wild.
This episode is brought to you by State Farm.You might say all kinds of stuff when things go wrong, but these are the words you really need to remember.Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
They've got options to fit your unique insurance needs, meaning you can talk to your agent to choose the coverage you need, have coverage options to protect the things you value most, file a claim right on the State Farm mobile app, and even reach a real person when you need to talk to someone.
Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
Jennifer Allen, who works here, she came in town a few weeks ago, and I'm like, I'm trying to stop all this buying and hoarding, and she comes in town with like 200 hats for Jacob to look through.
Jacob shows up at the office, I'm like, what are you doing here?He's like, oh, I'm just doing something.He's in the conference room, he's picked out like 60 hats from Jennifer's collection.
Was this one of them?A 1990s Domino pizza trucker hat?
That's what I'm saying.There's something for everyone on this website.I did not plan on doing a full commercial for Jacob's website today, but I'm actually loving it.
Hey, you know who else Jacob probably needs to get to know is Hunter. Cause Hunter's got some weird clothes.Hunter hasn't worn a shirt from this decade in like a decade.
So, um, yeah, but I mean, you know how cool a Necro Goblicon shirts going to be in 17 years.It's not cool now.Oh wow.But it will be.Wow.
What's the most interesting thing, Jacob.So see now I'm curious in your, in your opinion.I mean, he's probably got his own opinion, but like, has there been like one interesting thing he showed up with that y'all just couldn't part with together?
Okay.That comes straight out of a truck stop.Wow. Somebody got that for Father's Day and had to feign happiness.
I found a hat that said, golfing forever, yard work whenever.
Well, sometimes he gets some like, he finds stuff.Well, most of the time when he buys stuff, or not most of the time, but sometimes when he buys stuff, people will be like,
You can have it all, but you have to take it all, so he'll have to take home someone's full trailer of stuff, you know?And then we'd throw and go get rid of the rest of it.
A lot of times he finds some things.
That's a treasure hunt every once in a while.
that aren't necessarily appropriate for his page that he sells on like other like eBay and stuff like that or Craigslist or something.
So that's the interesting stuff sometimes I'm like you cannot sell that on your page and so he'll go and like sell it on something else like eBay or something like t-shirts that say like inappropriate things or something.
Yeah, I need to see that.I need to see that collection.
She's not going to tell us what they say.
You can ask him.He'll send you pictures.
That's probably where Hunter's grandpa, when he hit him in the honey hole, that's where he got that inappropriate t-shirt.Hunter, do you remember what it said about the fishing pole?It was very inappropriate.
Jake Umble, who I went to elementary with, wore one every day for like probably eight years.
See, I was up in that husky section.
is that they just had pictures of like dogs surfing and jacob has i think a hat that says that on yeah the big dogs and probably like dogs was spelled d-a-w-g yeah remember no fear yeah yeah no well so this is something interesting i would say so like in our guest bathroom we have this like
dresser thing that was there when we bought the house.And it's really pretty.It's like an antique dresser thing.Well, Jacob cleans.So every hat he gets, he cleans, like meticulously cleans and stain treats with a toothbrush.
Like he really cleans every hat because a lot of them are dirty or whatever.So he cleans them all in the bathtub of our guest bathroom.And then he sets them all in this dresser. this old beautiful antique dresser to dry.
So our bathroom is just full of like hats everywhere.And every time we have guests over, someone will like go to use the bathroom and come out and be like, can I have this hat?
And I have a friend who just literally came to stay at our house and like, she came out with these like three hats to buy and she's been wearing them all the time.And she's like, I can't tell anyone I got these from Jacob's bathroom.
What? That's brilliant.He's selling everywhere.Yeah.Like that's yeah.
Just tell him pickleball tonight, our house and, uh, bring me a hat.Don't play for sure.Yeah.We're going to play for clothes.
Uh, that is, yeah, there's, there's core memories being unlocked there.That's, that's fine.
Well, he also sunbathes all of them, like, or not all of them, but a lot of stuff he sunbathes.So our yard is just covered in clothes all over the yard, all over the driveway, covered in clothes.There's clothes lines with clothes.
Clothes are all over our house.
He's purposely fading clothes and selling them for more money.
Welcome to 2024.Yeah.Proud to know the guy.Proud to be an American hunter.
Well, no, no, the same thing with the holes in them. Yeah.They pay an exorbitant price for blue jeans with holes in them.
Yeah.Where's the rest of them?Hey, before we get into the email inbox, though, I got holes in my underwear.
Brittany made me throw them away.
Oh, my get ripped off.I got to do one thing before we end the show.
That's telling us to wrap up.But perfect. Alexis had a birthday party for her boyfriend.
That's the one from yesterday.
No, not that Alexa, not Alexa play.
Well, there's a guy out in the world.His name is Ian. Ian is the biggest duck call room fan in the world.According to her, he had a duck call room birthday party complete with our faces on sticks, duck dynasty memorabilia.
And seeing my face on a stick is a proud moment in my life at a birthday party, but seeing Godwin with his shirt off on a stick is the most fantastic thing I've ever seen.Yeah.
I sent him.So she sent me a deal. And I read, I read all my messages for the most part.And she was, she went, she showed me what they were doing first.So then I did, I sent him a video that said, happy birthday.Um, but she sent it on like a Friday.
She's like, if all you guys in the doctor, I was like, that's cute.This is Friday.I'm the only one here.So, uh, happy birthday, Ian.Like, you know, isn't that his name, Ian?
And I just told her, send me the pictures and we'll give him a Halloween shout out since he's going aside for Halloween.But I didn't know we'd made it to the birthday party.
Yeah, man.And if you want to do a next time, if you want to do your birthday party here, we're doing them here at the warehouse too.So like wing.
Ian, you're probably too old for that, but I want you to have your next birthday party here at Douglas.
No, you're not too.You're never too old for that.Is that a RC Cola?Or is that just a Pepsi?
Oh, now we're zooming in on the back.Is it a Moon Pie?Was it?It's disturbing if they're drinking RC Cola or Pepsi either way.
If they're drinking RC Cola, it's got to have a Moon Pie.
Happy birthday, Ian.Yeah, happy birthday.Your girlfriend likes you a lot.There you go.That's what we were supposed to say.
Anyway, you want to send us out of here?You got us one.Shoot.Bella, you know, what's your favorite Bible verse?There you go.
I was I was doing I were rapping early today.
Well, I don't know what my all-time favorite one is, but right now, we're working on something for this event we're doing, and we're focusing on the verse that says, oh, I can't remember the reference, but it says, those who weep in tears will sow, well, wait, those who sow in tears will reap in joy.
Who so with tears will reap with songs of joy.I love that verse.
Is that for your Cultivate LA group?Yeah.So that's cool.That's a lot of things going on.Oh, that's what I'm talking about.Yeah.That's a that's a cool one.If y'all haven't if y'all haven't seen her stuff on that yet, check it out.
I mean, it is a local thing, but that doesn't mean you can't get involved from abroad.So thank you, Susan.
Susan, Bobby, Will, y'all got different names.Everybody got different names.Appreciate you coming in.We will see y'all next time right here in the Duck Call Room.We're out.
