Summary

Jase rehashes the behind-the-scenes ‘Duck Dynasty’ snake bite that never made the show, including the 9-fingered snake handler and Willie streaming blood on camera. Al’s visit to Bella’s Duck Commander office leads the guys into a bigger reflection on Phil’s tiny original duck call shop and the evidence that Phil’s mission has now lasted four generations. The guys explore the dignity of honest work, why every job can become a platform for Jesus, and how Christians are needed in the marketplace just as much as they’re needed in the church.

Welcome back to Unashamed. So we're kind of in between recordings here because we do too, as you know.

And I was going up front and I saw Bella in a spot I don't normally see her.

Of course, people move around here. Which is Willie's daughter. Willie's daughter. And she runs the store and several things here. I had passed by Jacob, her husband, in another office, because I guess they've just done a shuffleboard move, which they do quite frequently here. I can never keep up with where people are. Jordan's over here now. They're all the time. All the time moving. But I did. I was, I liked it when I saw Bella in there. Says, this your new office? She said, yeah, for now. And, you know, we laugh. And I said, well, this is where Lisa and I were. Back when we came, we left our full-time work at Wiss Ferry Road to come back to work here and eventually to come on the show. But that was our office. And we were doing, like, licenses, a bunch of stuff I had never done before. And we were just learning because y'all were all doing a show, you know, about building duck house. Well, then all of a sudden we're selling these town of duck houses.

1:12.2

I guess it was the backdrop.

1:14.0

Yeah.

1:14.5

I mean, behind the scenes, it was a madhouse around here.

1:16.9

But it just took me back because Lisa and I were in that office together where Bella is now.

1:21.3

But when I walked in her office, I looked to the left, and she's got a kind of a table there directly in front of her, across from her desk,

and it's a picture of dad, and he's in that old, I was going to say warehouse, but our original little shop.

1:40.0

Yeah.

1:40.5

It's not even, it was a tiny little shop.

1:43.1

I mean, I think it was like a mobile home.

1:47.2

I don't know what it was.

1:48.5

Well, not like a temporary shed.

1:51.5

It was like a shed.

1:51.9

It was a shed.

1:52.3

But it's a temporary.

I mean, I think he bought it for a few hundred dollars, the whole building.

1:59.5
