Next up are four episodes of Duck Dynasty. First, an impending visit by Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, to present an award to Duck Commander, throws everyone into chaos. Secondly, Jase, Si and Jep take a field trip to a donut shop and quickly find out who amongst them can eat the most delicious treats.
