2. Phil Robertson served as the starting quarterback for Louisiana Tech for 2 years. He later finished college with a Master’s degree in education.

3. Phil’s brother Si, one of the quirkiest members of the family, is always seen with a jug of iced tea. But don’t think that he’s drinking that typical Southern version of sweet tea: Si is drinking unsweetened tea from that Tupperware cup his mother sent him when he was in Vietnam. And have you noticed that Si’s beard is uneven? Half of Si’s beard gets regularly caught up between the bottom of his gun and his shoulder, resulting in that uneven appearance.

4. Jase’s first date with his wife Missy was a fake date, fabricated to make an ex-girlfriend jealous. He and Missy have three children, the eldest of whom is named ‘Reed’. One of Jase’s jobs at Duck Commander is testing the reeds in the duck commander duck calls. He recently created a duck call that has 3 reeds called the ‘Triple Threat’.
