4:06 pm
this? >> well, we ended up on outdoor tv. i wasn't sure if we could make it looks like we do. we ended up doing that. that was successful. we get a call from a producer out in l.a. he said i make shows. he said i think you guys have a great show. he said i think you have a show rehere. we discussed it. a and e came out of nowhere. i don't know if they knew the comedy and how funny it would be. we don't look like comedians but it turned out fun and he family oriented and they had a hit. katie: jeb, how has your life changed? >> it is czy. you go to the groceryry store a it may take an extra 30 minutes. i was in the gym the other day. i am bench pressing. i look around and i see a guy taking pictures of me. i am like i need help man, put

4:08 pm
you wrote a new book, phil, called "happy, happy, happy." >> i am happy for high-tech. i never owned a cell phone or turned on a computer in my life. it seems like it is a little much for our children. all the time. katie: it takes you away from the actual act of living so much. >> so i did the simple thing. i would take my grandson's cell phone and throw it in the high weeds. katie: i should mention too, obviously you guys have made a lot of money doing this. butou are very philanthropic. you give a lot back. >> mostly the church but we help out on a lot of different things. miss kay, you are a woman and so is miss kay. katie: thank you. >> she said phil, i stayed with you when you were mean and we were poor. she said now you are kind and we are rich.

4:28 pm
katie: so, our next guests spend their days in the steamy bayous of louisiana surrounded by alligators. not your idea of a good time? well it is to them and to millions of people that turn in every week. take a look at the history channel's "swamp people." way down south in the bayous in louisiana, hunting is a way of life. one season is the biggest and it only lasts a month. gator season. troy landry is known as the king of the swamp. he and his sons jacob, chase and brandon put their lives on
4:29 pm
the line going after these giant critters. as if spending the day with enormous alligators was not enough of an adrenaline rush, the landry family prides itself on kicking it up a notch. >> oh, my god. >> the work is dangerous and the stakes are high. but to these guys it is just another day at the office. so, please welcome troy landry d his sons, brandon, jacob and chase. hi. how are you? how are you? how are you doing? hi guys. nice to meet you. have a seat. how are you. thyok you so much for coming.
4:30 pm
nice to see y'all. you will have to teach me how to speak a little cajun. what did you say to me? >> how are you doing. katie: a little french thrown in there. how did you guys get in this crazy line of work? were you born into it? this is something you have been doing all of your life. >> yes, ma'am. katie: what is it about it that makes it appealing to you? >> what makes it appealing to me is that it is dangerous work but i feel that being in the swamps is one of the last freedoms. you have to work hard to make a living. it is not a guaranteed paycheck at the end of the week, kind of like in the old days. katie: brandon, can you explain why alligator hunting is necessary. a lot of people would think it is weird. >> there are so many out there you need population control. it gets dangerous, you know. they are overpopulated in the
4:31 pm
waterways that people swim in. have you kids out there. you know you feel like you are out there protecting other humans by taking care of the population. katie: and what do y'all do once you catch the alligators? >> we bring them in and sell them to a buy they're takes them to a processing plant. nothing on the alligator is wasted. they don't only use it for the meat and the swin, the head and feet. >> none of it goes to waste. are are we all have back scratchers. katie: how dangerous is this? because when i watched the show -- first of all, i think y'all are crazy. can i establish that here and now. i respect what you do. but i mean it would scare the heck out of me. do you have close calls ever? i have seen you? >> every day we are out there it is a close call. you just have to be careful and take precautions. as long as you stay safe
4:32 pm
everything turns out just fine. >> what was it like when you first did it? >> i was too little to remember my first time. katie: how old were you? >> around 7 or 8 maybe. >> younger than that. >> every alligator is different. every single one acts different. but when you catch the real big ones, a 12 footer, you never forget them. katie: one of you got in the water and wrestled with one. did you ever do that troy? >> i had to do that a couple of times. katie: you did? >> yeah. katie: did you think this could be it? >> you don't even think about that. it is something you do every day. you just do it. >> brandon, you had a regular office job. >> yes, ma'am. katie: then you started doing this. >> sounds crazy. katie: yeah. what was it like making that adjustment? >> the family needed the help.
4:33 pm
we have two boats. my dad's helper couldn't do it this year and he asked if i could help him out. i asked work ficould take the moh off. you know it was great to just be out there with the family and to know that i was helping them out and to take care of business. it is a big difference from the a.c. to the heat. very long days. the most manual labor i have done in a long time. katie: why do you think the show is so popular? >> the beauty of the swamps fascinates a lot of people. the danger of the alligators. some of them just to see a different way of life. i guess you can say we are the amish of the swamp. i guess. katie: and before we go, again, like "duck dynasty" some of the shots are really beautiful. some of those shots up close to the alligator, i think that cameraman must be wetting his
4:34 pm
pants right now. how do you help them get used to be so on top of those gators? >> that first couple of days they stay in the back of the boat. but we had a close call last year. one of them started to g comfortable. the alligator turned and get. the teeth mark in the camera was an inch away from where his hand was. he was done for the rest of the day. >> ruined the $3,500 camera. katie: you have to be careful. >> he had to change his pants. katie: ok. on that note, and it is fun to watch you.
