Duck Commanders Phil and Willie Robertson Interview | CONAN on TBS

First of all, there are a lot of reality shows out there, you guys have hit the jackpot with this one. People love your show. It's about how they started a Duck Dynasty. This is a multi-million dollar business that you created to make

duck

calls. That is fantastic. How did you start this business? Did you start the business? Yeah, I basically came out and said, you know, I think we can make a better

duck

call sound that sounds more like a duck, well we all think that, but none of us. actually go out and do it right there isn't a morning that I don't wake up and wow there is a better duck call but really what was it so you were a duck hunter and there was probably a duck call available and you thought that there was a.

They should be better, it's true, we are students of the sounds that ducks make, that's amazing, these are six species that we brought here, as we encourage you and start you off as a newbie, of course, but there is always hope for everyone. Look, we're going to give you about seven or eight species of ducks to see if we can train you, get you to Louisiana, you know, get you a 3 or 4 day fat Yas rir beard, the high hair camouflage. shotgun saying, let's get 'em, boy, okay, it may not be three or four days, three or four years, but okay, why?

So you thought I'll make a better duck call than you guys did and, Phil, they started. making the duck calls and then Willie you were the CEO you're the businessman I sell the duck calls that's my job okay he makes them I sell them okay I want to show a picture of you we just saw a quick clip this It's a photo of you in your element on a duck hunt that's an Inc. I had no idea that's how duck hunters dress uh that's a very scary photo hey tell me about it when we go to airports in the United States of America every time they say you stay there and they put you guess what, Phil, I hope, so yeah, they're putting that wand in places my wife hasn't been, they're wiping my hands clean. down, I'm like, okay, here we go, I don't know what the problem is, you know it's America, man, I was born and raised here, okay, listen, aren't you using the?

Are you using camouflage everywhere? I mean, you're wearing camouflage now and by the way, this camouflage doesn't work in this environment, it's better to travel incognito in my line of work, however, when you cross the United States and end up in Los Angeles, California, I said No. Good idea, so you wear camouflage, I mean you walk around in it a lot, but when you're in a business meeting you wear a suit, what do you actually wear? Willie, what's so funny? Willie, he doesn't wear suits now. I've never owned a suit, but you know, I'm 65. I'm thinking, you know.

I think I'll make it to the end without buying one, by the way. I don't have a I don't have a cell phone you've never had a cell phone you've never turned on a computer about I noticed that you don't wear a you don't wear a watch no rings no watches someone says well how in the world do you tell time I said well, I would say Right now, when we are, it would be dark on a little Sunday, after a while, the moon will rise. H the day, the night, just before dawn, mid-morning, yeah, okay, you're totally lost on a cloudy day, right, you have no idea what time. okay well let's say you were going to take a newbie like me duck hunting what would be the first thing you would do would be my clothes we would put pain in your face black so the ducks couldn't see you and they basically told you that on your first trip sit down, shut up and just watch the action so you can watch a little bit there, you know, until we see your shooting skills, you know we'd be waving. all around, how do you know I'm not just that we're always hello dead, someone who came out of Harvard?

We doubt he would be a great duck hunter. Now you said, would I have to wear more C, more camouflage than the rest of you, Conan, I mean, would you say with o'ban it's that it's not white, it's bright white? Very bright, bright white in the south, in the south we would say bright white. I'm like Rudolph. It could light his way in the fog. my bright face my flaming hair
