Chapter 1: Why are we remembering Phil Robertson?

6.947 - 26.953 Martin

Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the Duck Call Room. We're already getting started. Look, it's a day that we all knew was coming. Uh... and nothing could prepare you for it, but we're going to talk about the old man. We're going to talk about Phil. It's why I got sunglasses on. So while I'm wearing a black shirt, I decided to go full Phil, right? Oh, Phil.

27.233 - 52.35 Martin

And then in that regard, I'm going to give you the man. I'm going to give you one of these, the man who perfected the thumbs up, right? Because everything you've seen posted about Phil to this point, there was, uh, a lot of it was one quote, uh, which is awesome. I'm not going to honor what he said because I can't. Don't cry. Don't cry. That's out.

Woo. That's one of them Robertson things there, Martin.

62.538 - 72.847 John-David

But we are celebrating the life of my older brother, Bill Robertson, the man known as the duck commander. Hmm.

74.088 - 97.133 Uncle Si

I had a different relationship with Phil and it was really separate and apart from hunting because I got banned from the hunting blind for life. So we had a different kind of relationship. He led our small, our men's small group. He taught us how to be fathers. He taught us how to be good husbands. And this was all from a biblical standpoint.

97.173 - 119.575 Uncle Si

And so every week we'd go in and me and a group of guys would learn and learn and learn from Phil. And I moved out to Abilene Christian University and got my degree in Bible. And I came back and Phil wanted to sit down and learn and hear everything I learned. He said, He said, did they ever get off the gospel, Mac? He calls me Mac. I said, no, Phil, they're pretty much on the gospel.

119.595 - 125.76 Uncle Si

He's like, yep, all right. That's what I thought, son. That's what I thought. But our relationship was so different.

Chapter 2: What was Phil's impact on family and friendships?

841.489 - 857.196 John-David

Yeah. That's a bad deal. I was fixing to say that. Cause I, you had to buy it down and look. That's bone. Okay. So, hey, you got to put some pressure on it until you heard it crack. Okay. You weren't doing it right.

Hey, it was all the bad things, unhealthy or whatever, you know. But, hey, but it was just, you know.

873.498 - 874.099 Martin

Those are pretty.

874.159 - 877.771 John-David

When you got somebody that hadn't seen it. Oh, it was a treat.

Chapter 3: How did Phil influence those around him?

5083.163 - 5109.909 John-David

So Barton and everybody in here has been saying, okay, he never missed an opportunity that if he had one person, okay, that one person was going to hear about Jesus Christ, the Messiah. Okay. And our Lord and Savior. And he done it in such a way because he was just a good old country boy. He said it in a way that nobody could miss it.
