GLAAD Not Happy, Happy, Happy

It looks like Phil Robertson has gotten himself in a bit of trouble with the gay rights groups.  In a magazine article published in the January 2013 GQ magazine, Phil speaks his mind like he always does, and says that homosexuality is sin and that it is illogical. Phil said  “Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong.  Sin becomes fine.  Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men,” he tells the magazine. Paraphrasing Corinthians, he says, “Don’t be deceived. Neither the… Read More »GLAAD Not Happy, Happy, Happy

Snubbed?

  • by

Several articles have been headlining their stories with the word “snubbed”, implying that Phil and Jase Robertson had some sort of issue or concern appearing on Barbara Walter’s list of Fascinating People of 2013 television special.   It’s not that at all.  Jase and Phil were not in New York with the rest of the family to appear in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and film the Walter’s special because they were back home doing what they love most – hunting.  Alan, the oldest son, said that Jase and Phil meant no disrespect to Barbara Walters.  “When it comes to… Read More »Snubbed?

Duck Dynasty a Marketing Powerhouse

  • by

Duck Dynasty related merchandise will reach over $400 million in sales this year according to marketing studies. This makes the Duck Dynasty “brand” one of the most successful in TV history. In case you haven’t noticed, Duck Dynasty merchandise is everywhere. You can find T-shirts, DVDs, books, mugs, headbands and more bearing the Duck Dynasty logo. Si Robertson seems to be one of the bigger hits with his “Si-cology 1: Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynasty’s Favorite Uncle” on most of the non-fiction best seller lists. Replicas of Si’s famous teacup are a best seller on Amazon. Don’t forget the… Read More »Duck Dynasty a Marketing Powerhouse

Si Robertson Behind the Scenes

  • by

In a new video on Youtube from Billboard magazine, Si Robertson talks about his reading of the “Night Before Christmas” for the “Duck the Halls” Christmas album.  Si says that he lately finds himself mistaking Willie for Santa.  “I don’t always see or hear things as well as I used to, and it is easy to mistake Willie for Santa. That is the basis for my new rendition of this holiday classic.  I mean, come on Jack! Willie needs to lose a few pounds and get the white out of his beard.”  In the video, Si sounds like he didn’t… Read More »Si Robertson Behind the Scenes

Jep Nails It!

  • by

Wednesday night’s Duck Dynasty Christmas special had the Robertson clan preparing for a Nativity scene for their local church. During the rehearsal, Jep Robertson obsesses over his single line and worries that he may not get it right. His fellow cast members are no help. They ridicule him and tell him that his part, the Innkeeper, is irrelevant and there is no reason to worry about it. Martin, seconds before Jep is to make his debut, attempts to confuse Jep by telling him that his line is “There’s plenty of room at the inn”. Despite all of the harassment, Jep… Read More »Jep Nails It!

Willie and Jep Perform for Military in Afghanistan

  • by

I think the Robertson’s “Hairy Christmas” is gonna be a hit along the lines of Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmas”. It is a really catchy tune. This time Willie and Jep take the song to the troops in Afghanistan. Chairman of the JSC, Gen Martin Dempsey, has posted on his Facebook page that Willie and Jep Robertson have gone to Afghanistan on Monday, to perform for the military and DOD civilians serving there. Gen. Dempsey sported an awesome faux beard to sing alongside Willie and Jep to the troops. I know I trashed Willie’s voice in the last post about his… Read More »Willie and Jep Perform for Military in Afghanistan

Duck Dynasty Christmas Special Wednesday

  • by

Here are a couple of videos to help get you in the mood for the Duck Dynasty Christmas Special tomorrow, Wednesday Dec 11, 2013 at 10:00 PM EST. In the special Christmas show titled “O Little Town of West Monroe”, the Robertson women’s rehearsal for a live nativity scene at their church turns rocky when the guys volunteer their opinions too much.  Also, Willie and Jase are looking to get the perfect gift for their wives, so Jep offers his suggestions.  Needless to say, Willie and Jase don’t think too highly of their little brother’s recommendation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMz2kqw2FyE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1j8oNohK3DM If you… Read More »Duck Dynasty Christmas Special Wednesday

  • by

The one millionth duck call made this year by Duck Commander and signed by Phil Robertson, founder of Duck Commander has finally been sold at auction for $20,110 .  The proceeds of the auction are going to the Northeast Louisiana Veterans Association’s Wounded Warrior hunts.  Earlier last month the duck call was sold at auction for over $80,000, but the winning bidder backed out and the call was put up for auction again (see https://www.duckdynastytv.com/one-millionth-duck-call-to-auction-again ).  Though the auction did not get the $80, 000 amount of the previous auction, the money is very much appreciated by the Wounded Warriors.

Willie Robertson’s Beard Maintenance Tips

  • by

If you’ve grown a beard for No Shave November and have become so accustomed to it that you’re going to keep it, Willie Robertson has some beard maintenance advice for you.  In an interview with Parade magazine earlier this year, Willie offered up this jewel: “I just run my fingers through it, stick my head out the window to dry it off after showering, and roll with it. I condition my hair, so whatever ends up dripping down into it is conditioned. It’s softer than you would think.” So there you have it.  Apparently it works too.  Jennifer Nettles, at… Read More »Willie Robertson’s Beard Maintenance Tips
