In this episode you will hear:

• Willie is one of those people that can make you laugh. I think he’s gonna keep me young. (6:33 )

• I actually met Willie in fourth grade at summer camp. (15:15 )

• [Growing up] Willie’s family had one double bed for the four boys. You just slept wherever you could find a spot. (16:25 )

• I’ll never forget meeting Phil. He had this big, black beard and it was intimidating. [He said of his boys] they’re gonna be good husbands someday. They’re good hunters, good fishermen. They’re gonna be great providers. He was right. (16:50 )

• When Willie was about 30, he decided to go back to work for Duck Commander. (17:59 )

• [While on a train in Europe] we were asleep in the [train] car and robbers grabbed one of our friends backpack. Willie chased them down. They dropped the backpack and got it back. (20:16 )

• I feel like Willie and I brought in some fresh life and excitement for the family company and started running the website out of our house, and taking orders at 2am. (23:03 )

• Be who you are. Don’t try to fit into the mold that someone else says you should be. (26:59 )

• There’s a loneliness that comes that comes [with stardom] which you wouldn’t expect cause everybody loves you, but actually you’re in isolation. (28:28 )

• The blessings were way bigger than whatever the negatives were. (29:51 )

• You grow from hardships. (29:57 )

• God doesn’t use people that are perfect. He rarely uses someone that’s perfect. He chooses someone who’s weak. Then His glory is made known. (38:40 )

• If you’ve been rescued from the pit, the more you understand grace. (39:27 )

• [The movie brings] a message of redemption, and the message that nobody is too far gone. (48:22 )

• Things can change and there’s always hope. (48:48
