00:00You know, I wanted to ask about your parents.

00:02Obviously, they're not in the best of health,

00:03so I just wanted to see, you know, how they're doing.

00:06I know your dad's battling Alzheimer's.

00:08Your mom's not doing too good, even though we see her on the show.

00:10So I just wanted to see how they were doing.

00:13Yeah, yeah, dad's not doing well at all,

00:16and so it's definitely progressing.

00:18And mom has shown the same type symptoms,

00:22so Alzheimer's or dementia.

00:25And so, yeah, it's kind of, it's just part of life, you know,

00:29and, you know, mom has her good days.

00:32Mom was on the show, which is great,

00:34and so I don't think at this point she's probably not going to be able

00:38to do that in the future.

00:41And so she also has more health problems as well.

00:43But we're there, you know, we spend time together,

00:47and, you know, but they lived a, you know, great journey

00:52and taught us a lot.

00:53And so I was, Corey and I are very appreciative

00:55of what we were able to do on Duck Dynasty,

00:58to be able to see that.

01:00Because, you know, I think people don't realize

01:02the show started for them and Uncle Si.

01:05They were all in their mid-60s,

01:06and so they were retired and, like, too much done.

01:09They thought they'd done everything in life.

01:11And so for them to have that last push

01:14and be on television and, you know,

01:16I'm just glad that people got to see them

01:18and enjoy that, you know, when we had that time.

01:21And so, yeah, it's just very special.

01:23We have that, those moments and those memories

01:26for our kids that are captured on television

01:28that they'll have forever.

01:30So that's really sweet.

01:31But definitely, you know, I'll say it's been sweet

01:35from my perspective to see how well Willie's

01:38taken care of his parents

01:39because it has been a hard time.

01:40This past year has been really difficult,

01:42and their health decline has just been more rapid

01:46than I think any of us would have imagined.

01:49But one of the sweet things about this moment

01:52is just seeing how well Willie has cared

01:54for his parents and all his brothers

01:56and his sister, they've just come together

01:59and just really, it's brought the family together

02:03in a way, and I know sometimes that can be something

02:05that tears families apart,

02:07but for our family, everyone's just come around

02:11and brought them together.

02:13Yesterday was Mother's Day, so it was fun.

02:15There were several of us up there.

02:16Everybody kept, yeah.

02:17Together, yeah, to be with them.

02:18We didn't plan on who was going when,

02:21and then it was just like one was there,

02:23and then we showed up,

02:23and then someone else showed up,

02:25and then someone else was coming for dinner,

02:26and it's just sweet.

02:28Yeah, it was fun for us.

02:29Yeah, definitely.

02:29See, I'm not sure I was going to take care of you

02:31when you get old now.

02:32Yeah, I know.

02:33See, now I'll be there.

02:34They say, you know, watch how a son treats his mom,

02:39and so I think I'm going to be well taken care of.

02:40Yeah.
