Willie, Jase, and Al’s Redneck Childhood | Ep 17

you know Heather, hitting every other day about whatever or you know bad language or Yeah, you see it, but you know we're doing the same thing. You have people in your house. You are sharing Jesus. You are in the hospital. But even though there has been success, I will say that Willie growing up was always him. he had a project going, yes, always some project, he was burning something, he was building something, he was a great gardener, he is a gardener, so it's funny to see him now at 47 years old, he has several businesses and yet he always has a push You know his attic loops run, he's the manager now, so he's got my job, so I'm out there, did you guys check that thing?

By the way, there are about 1,000, we just had our hunting and fishing camp our first year, so we had it out. there, but I'm still burning, and we had this conversation that they actually started because I feel like we're talking about another person that's in my family, I won't name who it is, but I said that's not normal. and I said, well, leasing feels normal, that's the statement I'm making, at least it feels normal. I wanted to mentally say, oh man, you're talking about a backlash, your dad isn't normal, he's not me, you may not agree, but at least he's normal, so this whole debate started. about what's normal and I said well I'm normal oh so they said well you're not normally there and I was like what's your sigh you're not normal I'm not so we were going through normal . which means normal and because he said normal but because of what I do I'm there every day I pick up sticks all the time I'm burning I have and my friends thought that wasn't normal but I said well that's what I want to do but it brings me back and It reminds me of being down here working in the garden because I work with Grandma because Phil wasn't a garden guy, you know, I don't mow the grass, the frost will catch it and all that kind of crap everywhere.

You know, he was embarrassing and I wanted to clean him up because Grandma taught me that was cool and I still remember Kay stopping in the yard and I had a big fire. I was as big as my truck and I was four years old. years and Kate shooting me was like what he had done and I said I'm the fire is under total control I actually have a place just down the hill from here and I remember the lady when I was a kid so and that's how it is No I remember the last time everything without Jeff would be the fourth and three of you sitting here talking about old times, this is the first time Missy made her birthday, she passed by those guys, but I thought. about all those kids that were in the video today at the birthday tribute, all those kids broke a family legacy that was bad, you know, I just realized that with every one of them, yeah, that's what they all say and you know, we.

We're talking about Abraham and we've been going through this and I thought about that story and Joshua popped into my head where he said you know that for me and my house we will serve the Lord, an incredible statement, yes, but I think that's really what it is. . about, I mean, even though it was volatile when we were young, that transition that happened in you and Cay's life, I mean, it changed our legacy, you know, you don't do it, you pass it on, you look at all the people you know that they come. to Jesus, I think the same elements are there, like you said, we grow, we have people in our homes all the time, we're still preaching Jesus, we have stories and I think Jase it was kind of cool to see those people because that's happening.

A guy stopped me for a camp joke from his time. I'm there burning. A guy comes up dressed very well and said: Do you remember me? He was there when I was working at Camp G. Ok, he said you influenced my life. and what I'm doing I have two kids and I said you baptized me right there and I totally forgot how many years I was talking about it was probably 20 years ago yeah 20:29 and he said I bet I totally forgot. I don't remember his night, but I completely forgot. I baptized him, but I think it's great when you forget even the good things. that nap, but when the good things come back and people remember you and say, hey man, you were there in my life and we've even forgotten what I forgot about that, so when you plant those seeds, water those seeds and Larry Hooper every Father's Day sends me a Father's Day, happy Father's Day and it's because you were part of it too when he was in camp, he had a terrible relationship with his family, nothing, so Willie would stay after for camp worker Willie to leave the camp and then.

I had some spiritual influence, but he never forgot it, so every Father's Day I remember that someone like Mary is now, she has three children, you know, and at that time I was a directionless child with nothing, so it's interesting and Dad, that was your mom's. I mean, you guys taught us about hospitality and who we are. Clearly I've been wrong for the last 70 years and I've now come to understand, after talking to three of my older children, that I'm actually not normal after all. I got something here, I made it, I brought J, surprise, oh oh, it really feels like, he already gave it to me as a gift, but oh yeah, I'm sure he did, it took my breath away when they patted me on the back.

Hey, happy birthday, here's Jace's gift, what's this? what does it mean is a so you can't you're just listening it's a package it's a package I'm just going to get one he's going to get one he's opening it now ladies and gentlemen about small it looks hairy one it's $50 vehicle it's a $50 bill there's another pretty thick star whoo that's a lot of 50 potentially now we have a $50 bill in the stack there are 50 $50 bills happy birthday please yes ITS 10 but it's users 50 10 what is that? Put your hands here. That's what I couldn't do, so now I'm really going to say it all tonight and I thought I was going to win this amount of money, but that didn't happen.

Last night was a bigger investment, very happy. birthday, the bank and I try to get 50 50 s is a bit I have been on earth 73 years I never thought I would see a small birthday gift to the tune of 2500 land in this house come find out I went to the charity loose on 2502 like this that we will have you back next January or on my birthday. I mean, you gave me a Hondo. I know the audience would think this is a little rude, but I will say that when Winnie was CEO. 'cause he took over the candy business in high school, I said he's a man, be good, get it, it's all he wanted, he should run it, so he goes up and tells his mom, tells her to listen before he finish, just tell my dad.

They called me, I don't feel bad, I don't know where he followed up, he said, feel the queue before this ends. I'll send you a check for a million dollars if I handle this right a year or two later, Miss Kay, come on. I walked in and said, remember what Willy told you: he'll give you a check for a million dollars. I told him yes, I heard that bull. I said a million dollars. She hands me this smoothie and I look at her. 1 million dollars, of course, I'm looking to win. I'm sure it's all over, you know, I said boy, how do you eat?

It should be the CEO, he tells K to bring Willy, come up Willy, Willie, you have to come back, we'll talk about the intestine next time because that's just what I do on the bike, guys, but I don't know if I I had more fun than today. We sat on memory lane. I learned a lot. We want to hear some comments from you. I have questions. What is happening? We're going to dedicate future episodes just to figuring out what you want us to talk about or some questions you have, we talk a lot about the Bible, so tune in and let other people know embarrassed with Phil Robertson, so we're very excited.
