Duck Dynasty's Robertson Family Reveals Part IV

It's Wednesday!

All new episode of Duck Dyansty on A&E at 9pm. (For the record, my kids are super disappointed there is only one new episode a week versus the back to backs they used to have.)

So? What have I got for you....

The Robertsons en mass were seen on the ACMs this past Sunday night, lookin' all spiffed up and fabulous.


 
 
Korie and Willie did a great job presenting an award to Jason Aldean. My kids spent the whole show yelling, "There's Phil! There's Willie!" whenever the camera panned to their row of seats during the show. Forget the awards, it was a virtual "Where's Waldo, Robertson Edditon" at the Sexton household. Minus the red stripes.
 
Guess what? Guess What?
I've got more pictures of the illusive Christine Robertson!
 
 
I think we'd all get to know her as we've gotten glimpses of what the other family members are like.
 
Here's an older picture from a church directory in Alabama
 
 
In this church directory(circa 1993), the teenager in the picture's name is Scott. I've not been able to uncover a whole lot about any Scott Robertson. At first, I thought maybe he was a possible foster child (perhaps Willie and Korie got their fostering inspiration from an older generation?) but the resemblance between Christine and Scott are too alike. Their noses and their smiles are very much alike. Sooo... I'm not sure. Silas Robertson's step child? The couple's actual child? I just don't know. I'll keep digging.
 
Speaking of Korie and Willie's children (middle of last paragraph) here a some fun pictures that Korie posted on Instgram:
 
 
 
 
Silly, I like it.
 
For more Silly, I'd like to share a few videos that Jase and Si did for a car dealership in Arkansas. They made me laugh. Unfortunately, I can't get the darn things to embed in my blog, so you'll have to click the Video Links.
 
 

 
 
 
 
And the following's my favorite!

Duck Dynasty Robertson Family Reveals Part III



It's Wednesday and we're all Happy, Happy, Happy!
 
First on my list is the seemingly breaking news that gasp our favorite Robertsons are now demanding more money and production has been halted. First of all, Season Three has been put to bed. They have already finished taping the shows for the coming weeks. This means any delays in viewing will not be a problem until October. BUT from what I've gathered, the family is asking $200,000 an episode. I italicised family because nowhere did I read each person was asking this amount. Do you wanna know what Mariah Carey is making for her time on Idol? 18 MILLION. In US DOLLARS!! And who's the daddy of all non scripted (this is what Hollywood now wants us to call reality TV) television? It happens to not be Miss Carey and her friends over on Fox. So worth it? Yeah. You go, Robertsons!


I've got more beardless pictures for y'all!

Then and now of Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Phil Robertson


Here's a story from Duck Dynasty Producer, Mike Odair-
Phil Robertson told him about recent airport encounter: “He was in the airport, he told me this, and all of a sudden he gets this great big bear hug from behind him, and he turns around and it’s Terry Bradshaw. And so they start talking, and as they’re talking … All of a sudden, up walks Joe Montana.”
“Phil said, ‘Odair, I look around, there’s just everybody standin’ around takin’ pictures,’” Odair said. “I’m sure that was a crazy sight for people in the airport.” 


Now, Phil Robertson has been traveling around doing presentations that include his duck calls, demonstrations of calls, his rise from his back shed to making millions and his faith. I don't think he passes up a chance to spread the Good Word.

What Miss Kay has to say about her faith and the show:

“It’s a total mission and ministry. Despite the spiritual material cut out of the show," the duck lady said, “We’re so blessed for what we can get in there. That’s really unknown in today’s TV on a regular, big TV network like that.”

Phil's Wise Words:

"Hollywood has run upon the kingdom of God, and there’s a rub there,” continued Robertson. “Well, we have to be as harmless as a dove and as shrewd as a snake in the way we deal with them.”

Oh crud, I had promised you more beardless pictures! I guess I'm just excited to see a family of faith in the limelight. Okay, here goes:

I had posted a similar picture in a previous post, but this one's from a different angle....

Jep? Is that you?

This one's pretty self explanitory. MUCH younger Silas Robertson
I think I've voiced my distrust of the realism in reality TV. It seems a bit set up to me and here's a blurb strait from Duck Dynasty producer, Mark Odair's mouth:

Watch Duck Dynasty and you can see that it starts with some guys who are real characters. Their lives create situations that are the seeds of the show’s stories. They play along in creating a slightly exaggerated version of life, but it’s done with a wink and a nod – they’re in on the joke, and so is the audience.

Fact for all my readers: Each episode takes about a week to film.

Wanna see some wedding pictures???? Okay!


Above is a split screen Korie had posted on her Twitter account on the day of her and Willie's 21rst wedding anniversary.


And here's a group shot. Labeled because beardless Jace does not look like the Jase we've fallen in like with.

Wanna know what Willie got Korie for their most recent Anniversay? A wide variety of As Seen onTV products.
Hmmmm..... Remember the Shake Weight Willie was using for the class reunion episode???? Guess where he got it?!?!?

Sooo.... now you wanna know what the season finale of Duck Dynasty will entail?


 Ermahgerd! ! ! ! The Robertsons go to Hawaii. I repeat, the Robertsons go to Hawaii.

Duck Dynasty Robertson Family Reveals Part II

I hope you found my post from Monday about Duck Dynasty and the Robertson family fun and informative. If you weren't able to see all the pictures your first time through, check again. I fixed a few that weren't available on the mobile site, so you should be able to get the full effect now!


So what more is there to say about these guys? Lots! Here is some more things you may not know:


 Phil Robertson does not own a cell phone or computer. I repeat, NO CELL PHONE or COMPUTER!

There are three things Si Robertson claims he never goes anywhere without: A jug of iced tea, his blue cup and his Bible.


Here's an interesting thing about Si's cup, which may as well be a character on the show, his mama sent it to him while he was fighting in the Vietnam War. He's had it ever since. Let's all give a big collective "Awwwww!" That is truly sweet.

Here's a picture of beardless Si from his military days:



Would you like to see more beardless Robertsons? Okay!
Si, Willie and Jace
Alan, Jace, Willie and Jep

Jase, Jep and Willie

Jase, Alan, Willie and Jep

Jep's Senior Picture

Sooo, seems Jep has a bit of the Roberston handsome gene as well. Them beards sure do hide some pretty faces!

Although we see a little more of Jep this season, it seems he is more of a behind the scenes guy. He is responsible for most of the taping and editing of Duck Commander Videos.  

Here is a picture of Jep and Jessica during a wedding photo shoot. Jessica was modeling the hair piece and they asked Jep to join in the shoot!

A very retro-chic, Country Music Video look!

Ever wonder where Duck Commander Headquarters and the Robertson live?
Why, the answer would be Monroe and West Monroe, Louisiana


Duck Dynasty was the most mentioned television show on Facebook in 2012. That is A LOT of mentions considering how many shows are out there.

Duck Dynasty is the top rated reality television show on right now, topping American Idol and Survivor.

The hand crafted reeds (That's Si's job, making reeds) are made from Louisiana Cedar Trees:

Each call is handmade at Duck Commander. They are also tested and tuned (Jase does that.) Each and every one!
In case you don't know what a duck call looks like.

Out of all the things I've dug up and discovered, I found an article from 2009 in The Christian Chronicle the most fascinating. The article talked about Phil Robertson's life and road to faith. Click here to read the full story. It's really worth your time.

And now I shall close another addition of Robertson Family Reveals with my favorite Si quote. It cracks my up. Every. Single. Time.

Duck Dynasty's Robertson Family Reveals


"Fear the Beardâ„¢" MEET THE DUCKMEN

Duck Dynasty... If you haven't seen the show, you're either what the cast calls a "yuppie" or you don't have cable television. I just don't know what your excuse would be not to watch beyond those two reasons. Although I find some of the situations and scenerios a bit set up for entertainment purposes, (I noticed there were leaves on the trees in the 2012 Christmas Special. Now I'm not totally apprised of the North Eastern Louisiana winters, but I would imagine that their trees are deciduous down there-that means their leaves fall off in the fall) it is just good, family fun. In a world where we are constantly questioning what's appropriate for our children's eyes and ears, there is no worry while watching Duck Dynasty.

This is how much our family loves these people:


Tyler was Si for Halloween


Our Elf on the Shelf, Cutie Pie,
dressed as Phil. The kids were ecstatic.

So, how much do you know about the Robertson family? To tell you the truth there isn't a whole lot out there. I found some of my info from the Meet the Family link on aetv.com or from Duck Commander itself.


Here are a few things you may or may not know about the Robertson Clan:

Phil Robertson was a star college football player at Louisiana Tech, starting ahead of NFL Hall of Famer,Terry Bradshaw. Phil was actually drafted to the NFL after his Junior year, but declined offers because football season not only interfered with duck season, but didn't want to spend his years being chased and tackled by "large, violent men." Here is a picture of a younger and very hansome Phil:

Phil and Si's brother, James, has written a biography of Phil's life.

Phil and Miss Kay, whose actual name is Marsha Kay, were married in 1966 when Miss Kay was just 16 years old. Phil was 20.

THERE'S ANOTHER BROTHER! Yes, Jace, Willie, and Jep have an older brother named Alan. He works at Duck Commander part time, but is also a pastor at the White Ferry Road Church, where all the Robertsons attend regularly.

Can you guess which one is Alan in this picture?

Yup, the Under Armour-clad non beard sporting gentleman is Miss Kay and Phil Robertson's oldest son. Looking at this next picture, I would say he will be featured in episodes maybe next season? Alan is on the far left, sporting a starter beard maybe?




Willie, oh how you would have stolen my heart in your youngin' years:



You can see where Willie and Korie's kids get their good looks.



Willie and Korie have five kids as seen below. Sadie, Lil Will (adopted son recently seen on the show) Bella, foster daughter, Rebecca, whom they originally hosted as an exchange student and John Luke


What drives the Robertsons such a close-knit family? This is easily answered. Their Faith. Although the producers of the show edit many of these parts out, the stars of Duck Dyansty live with a strong Faith and often make mention of God in their everyday life. It's said to be a bit of a downfall to the Robertsons that so much of that is cut out from their commentary. In my opinion, even though you didn't ask, I would love if there was more mention of their faith shown.

SI HAS A WIFE! Yes, her name is Christine and it isn't easy at all to find a picture of her! I found a quote from Si regarding his life's love, Christine, and I wish I would have bookmarked it because it was incredibly sweet. But here's the big reveal:



Okay, it's not a big reveal, since the picture is tiny, but it's what I've got. It came from Jessica, Jep's wife (as seen on left), Twitter page. But if you were as curious as I was as to Si's wife's appearance, there you have it.

I have lots more Robertson Family knowledge to share, but you will have to read my blog later this week! Happy Monday, Jack!
