Chat with Jackson Bates

Most of Zach Bates' videos for Bates Kitchen involve cooking, but he also enjoys sitting down with his family members to chat about a variety of topics. Zach just interviewed Jackson Bates, whom everyone says is a lot like him. They talk about food, Jackson's life in Florida, his new role as a dad, his work, and whether he would consider moving back to Tennessee. 

Footage from Jackson Bates' Wedding

It has been one week since Jackson Bates married Emerson Wells. Now that the Bates are no longer on reality TV, family weddings won't be publicly featured in the way they once were. However, a few of the Bates siblings have posted YouTube videos that include footage from Jackson and Emerson's big day. 

Katie and Travis Clark uploaded a video that shows their flight, trip to Disney World, and the wedding. Trace and Lydia Bates' video features their road trip and shots from the wedding.

Recap: "Bloopers, Outtakes, and Mishaps, Oh My!"

Bringing Up Bates "Bloopers, Outtakes, and Mishaps, Oh My!"

• The Bates admit that they are a very loud family, but they don’t always notice it because they are so accustomed to the noise. “...It sounds like a zoo,” says Erin. “It really does.”
• The Bates really enjoy teasing each other. Lawson is often the target. “If you want to tease somebody, it’s usually Lawson,” says Kelly. According to Gil, Lawson is the best talker in the family.
• But even though they like to give each other a hard time, the Bates' teasing is always done in fun.
• The family enjoys laughing together and making memories. They all agree that laughter is contagious. “When Callie starts laughing, she can’t stop,” says Katie.  
• Who laughs the loudest? Definitely Tori. “The neighbors know what she sounds like when she laughs!” remarks Gil.
• During UP interviews, the Bates kids don't always understand the question, which makes for an even funnier response. Take this one, for example: 
• Interviewer: “Is oral hygiene important with your family?”
• Jackson Bates: “What hygiene?”
• Interviewer: “Oral hygiene”
• Jackson Bates: “Nobody here wear high jeans. They all wear ‘em low.”
• What are the Bates' top three favorite words/phrases? “Epic,” “Awkward,” and “oh my stars."
