Introduction
In a recent episode of the Duck Call Room, the hosts kicked off the show with a bang, welcoming two very special guests: Miss Kay Robertson and Uncle Si. The conversation immediately turned to a serious topic, but with a humorous twist: the endless fake news and AI-generated death announcements that have plagued the family online.
Fake News and Staying “Alive”
Jase, one of the hosts, noted that Miss Kay has been the subject of numerous fake death reports since Phil’s passing. These articles often feature AI-generated images and fabricated stories about the family’s supposed “last will and testament.” Miss Kay humorously expressed her frustration, saying she was “tired of being dead.” Uncle Si chimed in, revealing that he, too, has been a frequent victim of these online hoaxes. The hosts emphasized the importance of not believing everything you see on the internet, and Jase even referred to Miss Kay’s appearance on the show as a “proof of life video.”
Miss Kay’s Retirement and Laughter
The show continued with a lighthearted discussion about Miss Kay’s retirement. Jase mentioned that Willie has been trying to get her to come out of retirement and appear on the new “Duck Dynasty Revival” show. Miss Kay, however, has made it clear that she is officially retired. Despite her retirement, she made an exception for the podcast, telling a host that she would come on the show “when I’m ready to laugh.” The hosts then shared their goal of making Miss Kay laugh during the show, a goal that was quickly taken over by Uncle Si.
The Robertson Family Compound
The conversation shifted to the unique living situation of the Robertson family. Miss Kay has moved in with Jase and Al on their family compound. Jase humorously described the living arrangements, noting that while he and Al live on the “normal street,” others like John Luke and Sadie live “behind the gate.” This led to a funny story about Jase getting lost trying to find John Luke’s house, revealing the sprawling and sometimes confusing nature of their compound.
A Look Back at the Early Days
The episode also featured some nostalgic moments, with Uncle Si and Miss Kay sharing stories from the past. They discussed the first episode of the original Duck Dynasty show that honored Phil and Kay’s 50th anniversary. Uncle Si recalled how Phil had to “borrow clothes from Harold” to impress a young Kay on their first date, while Miss Kay humorously remembered almost tripping over the mess in Phil’s house.
Another topic was the movie about Phil’s life, and the heavy emotions it brought up for him. Uncle Si and the hosts spoke about how Phil carried a lot of regret from his past, even calling himself “worse than Paul” the Apostle. However, they also highlighted Phil’s ultimate motivation for the movie: to lead people to Jesus. The hosts concluded this discussion by reminding listeners of the incredible impact Phil’s life story had on countless people.
The episode wrapped up with a behind-the-scenes look at how Uncle Si’s book, Si-Cology, came to be. Al revealed that he was the one who suggested turning the book into a collection of Si’s life stories rather than just a book of his sayings. This decision, Al explained, led to a more personal and successful book that people truly enjoyed.
