Willie and Korie explain why they were "nervous" to shoot 'At Home With the Robertsons.'

At Home With the Robertsons explores controversial social topics from (sometimes) differing viewpoints. 

"Being a big family ourselves, we’re the perfect people to do this because we definitely don’t agree on everything, but we still come together and sit around the table and love each other and respect one another," Korie told Distractify about their reason for wanting to participate in the Facebook Watch series.

The couple hope that having these tough conversations and hearing differing viewpoints makes an impact on their audience. Korie told us that they're trying to fight against "cancel culture" in their new series. 

"If we just cancel everybody for saying something wrong or not having an opinion … how are we ever going to learn and grow from one another?" the Duck Dynasty star said. "I think it is important that we overcome whatever fear we might have and what might happen and get out there and say something."

Willie agreed with his wife, telling us that they were "nervous about having these conversations" because "these aren't easy conversations to have especially when you just fundamentally disagree." However, Willie feels that their show could "make a difference."

Overall, Willie and Korie learned more about another person's perspective and their reasoning behind it. "We learned more. We learned more of where those thought processes and attitudes come from and learn to appreciate that more," said Willie. 

Korie added: "Ultimately, we’re all after the same thing and that’s what I think this show highlights."
