I am unashamed. What about you? Well, we've got Uncle Si in the podcast layer, in the unashamed layer. This is the first time you've done the podcast from this locale, Sire. From this locale, that's right. So we did it up there at the Flage. This is accurate. Phyllis's new house.

We were all together. Phil was in front, leaving the duck blind. we've waited 30 minutes for him you know you know what happens

we were killing on lemon every day for the last few days have been eight and nine so that's what I think has caused the problems

so dad's gonna well now he's trying to fix it yeah you know called Canada I wish it would work like that

James I would dial and run up and say, hey, send us another few thousand. But it's actually, though, been, like, I only hunted open a day, but it's actually been probably the best opening stretch in years. About five years. At least. The full moon hit and everything slows down. So explain that.

You tell me that earlier. Well, look, my best buddy in Kansas, he goes by the moon. But he taught me that a lot of times when the full moon hits, ducks become nocturnal because they're going by God's flashlight is what I call it because you can see I mean this morning I didn't need a light to get to the destination in a boat yeah you could see yeah and so ducks feed at night and so they so we kill a few early because that's they've been eating all night and but they start moving now I don't know where they go during the day but they're not flying and we even see that at our place when we were leaving out I

jumped up to you deer I mean just like I was going to get the boat and they took off well then they got up more ducks than we saw the entire morning flying so they're just sitting they're sitting there so they've been they're not moving around in daytime so what you do is you go at about two o'clock we're going to do it today yeah because he's like because he's like I don't know what's wrong because the quality of ducks we know they're new we we shot three widge and it's all three more Yeah, we don't have widgets. Right. So I know that they can't.

Yeah, they can't. We had two milders this morning and just, you could tell they'd never been there before in their life. They just come right in the hole. So, I mean, it's quality. It was quality nine ducks. It's just very few are flying because they're gone nocturnal. So you got to, they start moving in the afternoon,

especially when it's cold, like it's really cold for here. So it's like the military side. It's adapt and overcome, right? That's what you learn. They're moving around at night, so you've got to, changed how you got to i mean they kept griping and complaining i don't know what the problem is oh there you come on in i didn't think you'd chose we didn't even know you was that started started getting some coffee and let's uh reminisce let's talk about the the going zone so so while

dad's getting his coffee size so i'll go ahead and uh give you you got a new podcast a duck commander has a new podcast yep i saw this and uh so it's going to be basically it's from what I understand it's five of them it's Uncle Si Martin and Johnny D yep the slobby man assistant and then you've got a rotation Johnny Gowan he got Gowan who sounds like Philippe Saul any kind of saw I call him a saws all I can't understand a word he says I don't know how how are they going to translate because for people who listen they're just out well hey sometimes you have an interpreter come over yeah but sometimes

They've got to have an interpreter for me. So that'll be nothing new. But you just changed the English language. Go and he goes, I say, what? So then he changes blades. He goes, I'm like, nope, all I'm getting is a blade.

Yeah, then it gets intensive. He gets intense. Is that just a year? Can you understand him? I can understand him. I've listened to him more, I think, so I can let him a little bit. Yeah, you used to live next door.

But he is a moment. movie, you know, where they had, they were making fun of Louisiana and the coach, they had a Cajun coach, you know. Yep. What was that show? Oh, that was, you're talking about, water boy. Water boy. That, he'd go, I don't know how that.

But all them knew what he said. What the heck? Which is funny because when LSU hired Orgeron, you know, the first thing he said, the first news conference is I'm the first LSU coach without an accent, which I thought was really funny. work. That was kind of cute. They'll make yourself

at home. They'll edit that out. So here's what my concerns are, Sight. Since daylight, I'm going out to the chicken bit of whoever brought to him.

If you start smacking, you're going to move that mic back. That's going to drive me crazy. That's what you got to love about the other Shane Pike. Go ahead and run your mouth. I'm going to just carry on a little food here. All right.

So the five. People doing a podcast seems, especially when you got Si and Martin, I don't say how any, the other three is ever going to say a word. Have you all filmed any? Yeah, we have. It actually releases tomorrow. Who did the talking in the podcast? No, no, I was shocked at that.

I figured it would be like you talking about talking over each other. No, most of it is they're being very polite. No, I don't mean they're talking over each other. I predict that you and Martin will do all the talking, 95%. Because Martin knows everything, and then Sye thinks he knows. No, he hasn't know it all. That's why me and him talk a lot, yell at each other. You know why?

He's got a big head. That's right. He has the big head of a human being I've ever seen. As big as that clock on the wall of that breath. He wears a size hat about 40. But, hey, speaking about that, when I come in the military and got drafted, my drill saw it, I could take a bat in his hat. I'm serious.

Hey, this boy weighed 450 pounds, but you had to respect him, okay? Yeah. Because look, I took AIT on Fort Bragg. I don't know. I have no idea what that means. Oh, no, not A.I.T. Basic. I just based on Fort Bragg. That's where they holler at you.

You do not walk on Fort Bragg. I mean, Fort, I can't take a name right now. Hope. Anyway, it's in Georgia. Oh. Fort Benning? Benning, Fort Benning, Georgia. Okay.

You do not walk there, so you run everywhere. Well, we run everywhere. Well, I'm 130 pounds, so I ain't worried about running. Okay, he's carrying 4.50, and he run everywhere we did. Hey, you had to respect the band. So Martin reminds you of this game? Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. But Martin's a large, man.

Look, when we've seen... You got stone, but he never says anything. No, stone's quite. No, no, look, when we've seen the drill sergeant coming, we lost the drill sergeant coming. we lost the drill start and he showed up. Big office, what we called him, behind his back. We wouldn't say it to his rights. I didn't say it to his face.

But anyway, look, we see a taxi cab coming down. Look, the right side of it is sparking. It looks like somebody's got a grinder going, but it's a taxi cab. He pulls up, it pulls up, and when he steps out, then it comes up where it ain't grinding. Before it ain't grinding. He was dragon. He was dragon.

You sure he didn't weigh more than 450? Oh, no. Hey, he was a man. And look, he's about six, six, okay? Oh, no, he was a man. He was a drill instructor? And he was my drill instructor. Look, he didn't holler at you, did he?

Did he holler at me? Hey, graduation, I'm in dressed greens. Yeah. And he got in my face and I started laughing because I never could. The whole time I had him, he'd get right in my just nose to nose. And when he did, I couldn't help a laugh, and he had dropped me. I did 350 push-up. Because he couldn't clap, pooh, pooh, pooh.

Because he couldn't clap. He'd say, knock out 50, so, you know, Maggot. He didn't. He called you, Maggot. Yeah. You know, and I'd knock out of 50 and jump back up, and he'd get right against my nose again. I'd bust out of laughing.

Get out of them, maggie. Give me 50 more. Hey, 350, finally got the laughing and then the grinning off. Yeah. All right. You didn't use any four other words, did he? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, he used words like, drop, maggots. Look, side told me they were doing this is, this is for real. He told me they were doing the podcast. They were like, what are you going to call it? I was like, well, we need to think up a name, you know. We can call. I thought about sidekicks. Yeah.

No, no, no. The fan, what we're going to call the fan, our fan. Oh, right, because we went through that with this one. Yeah. You know, we finally came up with a shame nation. When Si talks a story, because he tops everybody's story. Right. Because they're just.

They're better. They're better. Then they could say, you know, they got sidekick. Yeah. I like the way you're thinking. I like you thinking. Like when somebody gets mossed, right? That's right.

You've been mothed. He said, needs to be short and simple and it needs to be some play on size like what we need is a is a two-letter word that starts for sigh I said is you just gave me what we're going to call my fans okay you told me no no no no but see we discussed this other day and asked him and I said well hey let's call them the cool people I said because we're cool yeah the cool yeah the cool people. I said, they're fam.

I'm about the dazed and confused. No. Now they're going to be called the sidekick, cool people. Well, I like my sidekick. I like the sidekick. Yeah, which is good because you've got all the sidekick. So is Johnny D. Is he kind of like the quarterback of that podcast?

Is he kind of the, or is it Martin? No. I mean, Johnny is. I bet Martin is. Well, no, no, Martin is a quarterback. But everyone is. So what is Johnny D? He looks like an offensive tackle.

Hey, no, but I know. But, hey, once in a while, they just sacked. Martin gets sacked so Johnny Takes 8. He comes in for one place. I've never seen Johnny D. Do anything other than Giggle. No, no, he's actually pretty good in this podcast. He really is.

He was on, I think he was on Willie's podcast. I've never heard him pontificate on anything. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, he's. It's like Willie's impersonator. Look, John D is like old Aardell dog. He's a lot better than he looks.

What kind of dog are we talking? That was dad's line. Remember some guy told him in North Carolina he was like an old Arredale dog He was smarter and he looked Isn't that what he touched? So what are y'all going to talk about? I was told that by a gentleman one time

He said, you know I said, why did you get out of that speech I just gave? He said I'll tell you where I got out of it You're like an old Aradale dog You ain't dumb as you look I thought I told them I said I appreciate it

he's turning out of all the time yeah that's a good point I guess there's some things that are better than other what are we going to talk about well I'm just curious any and everything oh so it's I ain't told them

other night for when we ended before I gave my scripture to think about I told them I had some spiritual stuff in there that's good yeah because they asked me said you got anything else to say I said yeah I got something to say I said proverbs chapter one if you read it in it, it says,

the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. I said, folks, you need to thank you on that. That's how we end. You can't spell spiritual without sight. You can't spell a lot of stuff without a side. You can't spell rich without a eye. So, hey, so my name, my name has got a lot of good things in it, okay?

You can't spell rich without an eye. I saw yesterday, so we're hunting. Oh, my goodness. It's 35 degrees, and the wind's blowing 30 miles an hour. These two gentlemen are more concerned at this stage of their life about heat than they're killing any ducks. Well, that's right. They're obsessed with heaters. There's butane balls out here as far as the man can see.

So we get to the blind. Jay, the night before us, Jay, we're going to need some heat on our side. He's like, I got you covered. We get out there. You're going to need some what? Heat. Well, because of the wind. Yeah, we're the ones you don't know whether you want to hunt up to stay warm.

We need to get some heat down here. 35 miles per hour. Them old cootts are making sure they got eight worse. Are we? Be careful because you know where this is going. So we get out there and they both for whatever reason thought the other one was bringing the heat and they have no heat. Uh-oh. We have about 50 duck blinds when we, not every one of them has got it in them.

That's right. Central heat is a, a Cajun cooker back in a field on you. Central heat, Cajun cooker, but some of the blinds, sometimes I thought, I thought I thought I left one in there, but they didn't. I got it down to the one down yonder. So we're out of luck. So let's let's let's take a prayer. So, Sa, I look up and Sae sits down on a bucket.

that's been in the blind for 10 years of course it breaks and you know it's rotten because I don't weigh 90 pounds he used to weigh 130 he's down about 90 so the buggy breaks he gets up there and he and Jay said you all right he said

that wind I'm like I was playing the death card here on this heat so Jay said all right and so he gives them our heater so we sat there

froze our butts off. Of course, I was telling jokes 10 minutes later because he's warm. He's a warm man. He's happy. He's happy. The oxygen is flowing again. Then he said, boys, don't remember this.

If I do die, he said, y'all throw me in the back of the four wheeler like a deer and haul me to the house. I was like, thank you, Sire, for that morbid thought. No, no, that was Jay that said that. Oh, I thought you said. No, Jay said, he said, hey, you'll probably die in a duck blind or deer honey. He said, but don't worry about it. He said, when you kick the bucket,

He said, I'll throw you in the back of the twilers. It was funny, huh? Just remember, we're reaching the AIDS now. Where on this go-around, there's not too many left for us. With the last two standing out of a family of seven. Saw is gone, Paul is gone, but they departed because they were godly. And all our brothers and sisters, they're all departed. They left the earthly tent.

So, sigh and myself, we're the last Robertson stand. that family group. So I said the only reason we're the ones still alive is because we both hunt. Because they didn't hunt like we do. So he said that's why I'm going out here. Well, he said. Tommy hunted a lot. Yeah.

Two years old than me. Yeah. Until he just couldn't. I have one of these rare mental things, you know. That's true. Which that's what's amazing to me. Not only did all of your siblings pass on, you know, and nobody made it to 80, but most of them had, you know, severe dementia

toward the end, especially Jan. She wasn't even 70 years old. As far as I know, none of them, which is kind of a certain interest, none of them ever broke down and bought a cell phone. No cell phones. No, no phone people. None of them would use a cell phone.

And they all believe. All seven. And so I don't either. And they all believe. nor believers. Well, hi. The reason I don't have one, it won't work from me. It's only as good as an operator.

Operator problems. No, no, no, no, no, no. You want to have this argument again right now. No problem with you. Yeah, we're going to solve it because he says it's my fault. No, no, no, no. This is not, this is the equipment problem. Tens of millions of people are.

Because my wife has bought. It's what, equivalent problems? Equipment problem. Equipment problems. Okay. My wife has bought me to the last one. was $1,000. Okay?

It will not work. I've been on planes, went to Nashville, or going somewhere for my singing gig with my band. So it won't work when you're 30,000 feet. No, no, no, no, no. This is when I'm in the airport and land.

Oh. I have to call my band members and say, where are you? And what's the band members called? Huh? What's your band called? No, Uncle Sinzic. But anyway, look, you're pushing the wrong buttons.

No, no, no, no. They try to make this idiot proof. Okay, I've got a phone that all I got to do is touch home, it comes on. Well, you prove them wrong. No, no, no. So I get it, it's on. Then I touch phone list. It gives the phone list, and then whoever I want to call,

they've got the name and the phone number, and all I've got to do is touch their name. It calls them. And nothing happens. Nothing will happen. Okay, so I'm standing there at the airport waiting, and it always happens. The fan comes up.

Sunka's eye, can I take a picture? I said, we'll make a trade. I'll give you a picture if you will call this number on this phone. So you just random strangers. No, no, no, random people. So look, I... You're living like this? No, no, yeah.

One woman, okay, and says, well, give me your phone, I call them. I said, darling, if this stupid thing would work, I wouldn't need you to call it. I said, call on your number. She said, give me the phone. So if she takes my phone, she's trying to call them. Uh-uh. Won't work. I know why it's not working.

Because she finally calls them on her phone. Yeah, hello. Yep, come get me. All right. Here we go. You have to have a service provider. If just buying a phone is not enough. Somebody, you got to pay somebody.

No, no. I guess, Sa. Here's it. Here's where you're coming up a little sharp. Yeah. No, y'all are wrong. The equipment will not work for me, okay? That's why I don't have one I bought two.

That's a good spin on why he doesn't have a cell phone. None of them work. No, he won't. Because it certainly can't be him. People listen think that he's kidding. Oh, he's dead too. We need to hookside with our folks that Patriot Mobile, you know, to get him lined up on a cell.

And it won't work. Trust me, it will not work. Have you had anybody younger than 25 years of age, look at it and see what the problem is. My wife has one. She's 70. She's your age. I said less than 25. Go to the millennials.

Go to the millennials. Two 70-year-olds looking at a cell phone. That ain't going to get it. Go to the millennial. You got a drop down on the vanities. Folks, welcome to my family. They are hard-headed, okay. It will not work.

Trust me, I've had two. They're not on your son. Hundreds of millions of people are having cell phones that work. I'll give you example. It's you. It's not the phone. No, it's not me. I had a guy in the military that was in my platoon, okay.

All right. You could give him the $10,000, what is the switch watch? Okay, the best made Costs 10 grams A Rolex A Rolex Okay, make it 100,000 You could give him 100,000

If he put it on his wrist It's dead And look And the greatest All watches died No, no, no No, no This is your argument

For what you're Hey, and the greatest Watchmaker ever Cannot resurrect this watch Once that man put it on his arm It died and it's going to stay dead. That's the way phones are with me, folks.

They're dead. So you really is your magnetic personality. Hey. You're overwhelming the cell phone. Something will make it not work for me. Trust me. Okay. I've done bought it too.

You know it's not brain power. Oh, no. It ain't big. I think I have, I think her as a song call that. See, they think he's kidding right now, Jay. I know. Hey, I'm dead too. Hey.

They don't know. I'm dead too, folks. It took me until about 20 years of age before I remember we was at the we's over hunting and I said he's he's serious he said yeah I said I thought he was kidding he called me off on his night said listen your brother my uncle he's serious about all this stuff I said oh yeah the weirdest conversation said I've been watching him for 10 years I didn't think he would really believe this yeah I thought he was kidding but he's not kidding I was like that's why he's doing you Jace, you lucky dog, you were named after. Well, and we're standing on the river back that day.

Remember, Si, when you said, why are you going to call your son? You got to blame him, okay? I just don't know what I was told. His wife, Ms. Kay, told me, go find my husband and tell him this baby is on the way. What does he want him name? But I did. And on top of that, Cy and I talked about this. Jase, you're too young to remember.

But Cy and Christine lived in Junction City. when you were born because they were that you were in between before you got back in the military so like they kept chase all the time marked him it marked him so you're me yeah you're formative years were spent with side with me and you were named after him and that's why you two clashed all of your skills and the stock market and all that right there yeah you're truly now wisdom is right by her actions Matthew 11 I agree with you

I know you know that you quote a Bible verse he'll agree with that everything else no he is on board with the Bible so sigh what are you going to do

with the tech because someone in the audience have contacted us and they want to know what are we doing in the arena of the coronavirus the biblical at least five times. Are we sure we want him to greet one another with a holy kiss?

What are you doing about that text? I will give you a hug. Okay, but I'm not going to give you a kiss. You kiss more women or they've kissed you than anybody I've ever been with. It's a plain text. It's on the cheek because I know you're married. No, no. But I'm just saying.

It's a plain text. Read one another, and it says it at least five times in the New Testament, with a holy kiss. The only thing to it, Lord, please forgive me. Let's take another break. I don't know what this means. Besides. He means he ain't kissing them. They're kissing it.

Last time I went on a trip with him, coronavirus is out. Ten women kissed him on the cheek. Watch it. Watch yourself out there, man. No, here's the thing. He wasn't kissing them back. I'm just saying, I did see that. I'm not embellishing.

That happened ten times. You can tell about looking at him. You know, man, these things. Ladies, man. I was humbled. Well, look, hey, you know, the simple part of it is, hey, when you've got it, you got it. And, hey, I don't even know what I got, but I got it. I'll agree.

It was quite impressive. It made me think there's a lot of women out there who perhaps are just as disturbed as you are. Well, you know, the story goes that early on, Sa was getting a lot of marriage proposals from kids trying to fix out with their grandmothers because they didn't know Christine was around because she wasn't on the show. And so we looked into it and Dad's like, you know, what is wrong with womanhood in America? I mean, they're all after your uncle, Sae.

And I said, well, I don't know, but what's even more strange is 90% of them are from the state of Alabama. Really? 90%. Role bad. What I saw. was all demographic, all ages, all ethnic backgrounds. I was surprised. Everybody loves on the South.

Yeah, they just screaming and hollering, kiss him on the cheek. So there was a, we did a musical, there was a musical, a Broadway-level musical. It didn't last long, shockingly. It's called a suitcase musical. It means when it airs, have your bag. Yeah, when somebody brought it up. You're not on back here's suitcase. It lasted about a month in Vegas.

But here's what's shocking, though. It was great. It was very well done. And my favorite number from the musical was the actor that played Si, who was excellent, by the way. And it was called Ladies Man. You remember it, Cy? And so we were at the opening together, and I laughed so hard at Sai laughing at this number called Ladies Man, because he kept, like, changing his outfits.

He kind of went through 50 years. years of side, you know, which was really funny. He was actually really good. He was outstanding. He was funny. He was a good singer. These were Broadway-level people. I think.

So why didn't it work? Because we were too far down the unsophisticated. I mean, think about it. We're going to do it music. No. I'm telling you. But it was really good. Well, look, we had a song or an album that went platinum people.

Our Christmas album. That was different. Not everybody can. say that, by the way, that's in the music business, right, son? We had world-class producer, and some of our family can actually sing. So, I mean, we had a few things going for us there. I mean, Dad was on there singing with George Strait, you know what I mean. And I've never met the man.

I said, they can do anything. They said, George Traynor. I said, I heard of him. I said, and they had pictures. I was standing there with him, you know, and I was like, it was like a cardboard cut. It was fun, too, and it was Christmassy, and it represented. I did the Grinch. It was excellent.

Yeah, it just, it worked. It worked. All I know about it is, not much money came my life. I don't know where the money went. Maybe it went to side. I don't know where it went. Hey, I got my share. Why do we bring up this argument?

Every time. Look, Willie and I got the money because we put the money up. Oh. So we pay. Why do you pay if you want a platinum record? Why do you pay somebody? Because whoever invest the money, they, get the profits. We're back to the investments.

So y'all got a check for participation. Now I understand. No, you got a check too. Tim and Willie got the money. You got the money. You can say that over and over and over no. I thought, well, where's all? Don't you make a lot of money? You received a check. Hey, you got what the dog shot out. I got no. You got a check. You got a check in the mail per song, which is normal standard. I didn't even get enough enough to wait till I see, wait till I see Willie next week.

Yeah, this was his idea. It wasn't mine. He just told me telling him could argue about it because I told him. I see this. what's it called Access TV and you know when someone says our goal our whole life was to get a platinum album you know and they said go on and on and once that happened that opened up doors

and they moved into big houses there's an entourage following I thought I didn't get due to scrot out of it. Well because the singers only make a little they the people who make them money. What do you figure they paid George straight? Because I was singing a duet with him

I think he probably turned down the feed that they were going to give him. Hey, what's will his nickname? Whiskey barrel? No. Oh, boss hog. But somebody showed me a plaque. Boss hog, his name is slick. Now I understand.

Boss hog and slick. By the way, how many of you have to sell, Jay, to get a platinum on it? A million. Huh? That's a million. That's a million. I went platinum in three months, so I don't know where it's at now. It did a, that's a million.

What's gold? Like half of that, I guess it's 500,000 is gold. You mean you sold a million albums, it's a million bucks. Well, it went going to about 30 minutes. It went gone in about 30 minutes. Aren't you all re-releasing it now? We were, but it got delayed. I made a big deal about that they were fixed to do it,

but Willie's like he won the Deer Hunt, Montana. I think Willie has a new song he wants to do, and Missy's working on the other song. Because you have to update a couple of things. songs to re-release, right? Yeah, every five years, if you don't update it, then they take it off like iTunes and Apple. So they'll do it, but it'll probably be next Christmas. But I think it'll be better now because it'll give more time to do it.

If you've never got it. So you're going to keep doing this? Oh, yeah. Well, because they're making money. That's a... People like it. Now I know why no one ever call me. Did you know?

Did they call you on it? No. No. No. I know what they called it didn't call for two. No money. Well, here's why. Because when we had the first meeting, if you all remember, we announced that my lovely wife said y'all will be paid for your song.

But we're going to do a Christmas album. And both of you went, well, this won't work. Which is why you didn't put the money up front. I just looked around and I said, do you folks really believe this will work? And for that reason, you got a small check. And I and the producer, I got him off on the side. I said, dude, come on out with it. Buddy Cannon, by the way.

He's a famous producer. I said, come on out with you. You actually think this work. And he looked, he was just dead cold-faced. He said, oh, this is going big. And I said, how would you know that? And he said, I've been doing this for years. This will go big.

Hey, he was Willie Nelson's guy. And by the way, he's going to help us with the new. Oh, is he? Yeah. Buddy's amazing. We're getting the band back together, Sigh. Bands come up with a new song. If you come up with a new song,

we may... Well, you're going to have to double the cage, buddy. We're negotiating now. This is turned into a negotiation. On the podcast. I'll see what we got you. If you come up with the right song, you're going to add up it a little bit slick.

I say nothing. And you can tell balls hog the same thing. Yeah, you got a check for per song. Yeah. Yeah, I, let's take another break. So, Sa, one of the, when back when the show was just taking off, A&E had this idea, the guy with our publisher, because we're just like trying, we're churning out books, you know, Willie's book was first, then dads, and we're selling a million,

over a million copies of books. And so everybody's like, everybody's got to write a book. So everybody gets in the queue. And for Sa, they had this idea that, you know, because they didn't know size depth. They only knew just from the show and the little sayans and stuff. So their idea was they were going to do a book of just like sayans, like stuff size says on the show and just kind of crazy stuff, just like a gift book.

And so, you know, whatever. That's what they were going to do. So they contact me, the publisher does, because we know her, Phyllis Boltinghouse. She was a publisher back there, or editor. And she said, what do you think about this book idea? I said, well, I think you're wasting a major opportunity. I said, size got a major book in him. I was like, and here's what you do.

This was my idea, Side, and then we did it. So it was like, Sae needs to tell his story like he tells his stories, you know, with a little embellishment, a little bit of crazy stuff in there. But I said, it needs to be his story. I said, his story is amazing, you know, his life.

And so she was like, do you think that of work? I said, I know it'll work. So they sent Slayball down here, the same one that wrote your book. And we did about a three-day interview, and I was there because I was kind of prompting size stories and christine came in too but it turned out to be it's one of the top sellers of all the books because it was really amazing it was size stories kind of the forest gump

of our family that's right yeah but you got to understand them all them stories really is my life that's right that's what okay but there it's like forest gump because some of them you're like how could he be here and there but they can't make a movie about you because when you You ran like Forrest Gump, you ran naked for the first few years. Most people think that he's putting on an act. And then the real sigh is just a normal person around. Oh, I know. They don't think he's really like that.

But that's really sad. That's him. I had one of these news media back in the Duck Dynasty Day, and they were kind of saying that. Remember, he's next to the last in the family structure. And by then, the genetics. And I mean, it's, it's. No, I've heard that. They don't got special.

They don't got special to genetic sound. This media outlet was trying to like, I think it's the paparazzi of his restaurant. They were asking me about that. They're like, you know, come on. You know, this Cy character. I said, well, let me just ask you something if you don't mind. Let me ask the question. If Cy was just a character that was made up,

how come he hasn't got an Academy Award and Emmy? This is the grading, acting performance. of our lifetime. On a reality show. And the media person was looking like, it's a pretty good point. I thought, you can't make this stuff up. It was like when we did,

we talked about it, Cy recently on the Today show when y'all did the interview. Matt Lauer was trying to make a big deal about it being a scripted show. And I remember Cy said, do you think you can script me? I mean, good luck with that.

You know, I'd be a script's worst nightmare. Well, no, no, because I actually said that on television, Fox and Friends, I think. The last thing they said before we went live was, don't use the word script. And then they asked

some question and I said, well, hey, look, he walks out there and hands me to a sheet of paper with something written on it, and I look at it and crummel it up and I said, hey, I'm a director's worst nightmare. Don't give me a script. So you describe the script without saying the word. That's what you.

Yeah, yeah. Everybody there just I can't spell script without. Side. That's fine, boys. We can play this game all day. Well, I learned a long time ago, the last thing you do, because dad's done a lot of media, the last thing you want to do is tell dad don't say something right before the camera was, because that's going to be the first thing he said as soon as the government.

We learned that a long time ago. He'll get up in the mic. I mean, no icebreaker. My son informed me that I should, and here we go. Whatever just happened. Don't do this. It was like the time we did the Fox and Friends dad, and we were riding over in the car,

and we were promoting one of the early episodes, and it was where you're talking with John Luke about the travails of, you know, dating and the microbes and things that can happen to you. Sex top. The pitfalls. The pitfalls. So you're having the sex talk.

And so I had seen the clip. I knew that they were going to. going to run it. And so I just jokingly said, well, I noticed that on this whole list of sexually transmitted diseases, you left out chlamydia. And I was just saying it as a joke. We're riding over in the morning, this, you know, 5 o'clock in the morning. And you said, yeah, I wasn't exactly sure how to pronounce that, Al. So we recently left that. So we laughed about it. So we get on the set. And so Doocy says, now, Phil, you got this episode, first question, with your grandkids. And, you know, what is your fear with these kids? You said, well, dozy, here's my fear.

chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes. He just ran through the whole list. Well, when I looked at the CDC and they said, 110 million have these various diseases, I thought, well, 110 million I looked around. I said, that's one out of three. You know, everybody's kind of in a crowd. You tell them that they all get to looking at their neighbors, the ones they're sitting with. That was your lead on the CPAC speech, too, that year.

It was really funny. Okay, we ate to eat and run, Sye, but... That was late to the party, see, he's ready to shut it down. So, Sai, I want to ask you something. So all the years, like, you would come in, you know, like twice a year. It's only the time we got to see because you were deployed. You're overseas a lot. But you managed to hunt still through that whole process.

And I want you to describe that a little bit because you've told stories before about hunting in Germany and all that. How did you maintain being able to do that wherever you were? I mean, because we all hunted here. You'd come in and hunt with us, you know, for that couple of weeks during the... Well, in Germany, you know, I had a buddy of mine, and he got me to go with him a couple of times to hunt. And he said, when he got ready to leave, you know, he's being shipped somewhere else.

He said, hey, you need to take over teaching the hunting class, the German hunt class. So that's how I got hooked into that. What was that all about? You taught the Germans how to hunt? Yeah. No, no. I taught the Americans the German way to hunt. Oh.

Because they have a lot of tradition. Really? Yeah. Do they duck hunting in terms? Oh, yeah. Yeah, they hunt everything. Huh. Yeah.

And like when you kill a deer, you go to an oak tree and break a limb, you know, a leaf off. Oh, wow. And put it in their mouth. It's called last rites. You give the deer, you give the deer a branch? A branch. You put a branch of an oak. And you did this?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. In Germany, why am I just now hearing about this? Well, you didn't ever ask me. If you'd ask me, I'd have told you the story. What about the deer you shot, and he went out in the mustard field and died?

Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, me and my buddy's hunting, okay? He went to the school, and I taught him young. Then I took him on a revere that I was on. A what? A revere. That's what they call it. It's like a ranch.

Ranch? It'd be like your property down there. I got you. Okay. So we go hunting and the mustard field is, you know, they're fixing to harvest it. Okay. It's about all shoulder high. The mustard flowers, you know, all of it, solid yellow.

We'll never think of them about, okay. It's a pretty field. Oh, yeah. Beautiful thing. And they're all over Germany in the harvest time. So we're hunting and I said, hey, there's a buck, and he'll be out there about, oh, probably 150 yards. Don't shoot at me too far.

Yeah. So he's sitting there, well, hey, the buck pops up, just like I said, you know, and I hear, yeah, so I come up there, it's the dark, right before dark. That was a kitty tower. Well, whatever. That's quite the explanation of gun fires. Well, no, no, anyway, anyway. It was a German, right?

You know, I see him. He's out there walking through this stuff, and he said, I shot a deer. I said, get out there. You know, I said, get out of there. You know, so he come over and over now, I said, what? he said, I shot a buck right out there. I said, well, number one, your way, you're 100 yards,

this side of where you shot that deer. I can't believe you shot him. I said, you sure he fell? And he said, yeah, he fell. I said, well, you idiot, come on. You know, he's been walking all through the field, you know. So I said, come on, let's go right over here. And I said, then I'll tell you exactly where your deer is laid.

How would you know that? Because he popped up every end. I've been watching him for five days. Yeah, so look, you know, I walk him up there and I said, okay, go out there about 35 yards, he'll be out there. Look, he goes out there and he says, well, come help me, drag him out. Well, we go in there and help him, and look, we wasn't even thinking about the mustard gas.

Well, look, we're staggering after we, we don't pull the deer out, we're staggering, and I'm talking about, whoa. I said, man, I got a lot. bugs on here. This explains a lot. No, no. So look, we take the deer to the guy that owns the property, you know,

and we're telling him, he said, oh, no, no, you didn't, you know. He could speak English, you know. And he got all just blurring German there for a while. And I said, whoa, whoa. They die when they go out of that. No, no, yeah.

And I said, no, no, you don't understand. He said, when we harvest this, he said, we got to wear gas masks. But they said, you know, hunt in it? Oh, yeah, no, no. He said, don't you ever hear the word gas? You know, mustard gas? And then we said, oh, yeah.

But we literally got high off a mustard gas, and he said, y'all could have died, both of you. Did he get the deer? Oh, yeah, he got it. But I'd never heard that until I told us. I know. It's just part of me as usually when you go up after somebody shoots, they tell you where they shot at the deer.

But I said, no. No. Let me go show you where you shot. He was out there walking around in the field, about 100 yards too short. When Burley shot George Jones, they named the deer George Jones, and Burley shot him. And I saw the deer when he hit him. He went on across the road down there. I walked down there where he shot him.

And I said, I was looking on the ground, said if I could see any blood on the ground. Burley walks by, he said, what are you doing? I said, I'm tracking the one you just shot. He said he fell way further than that. So he just walked on by. I just stayed what I did. I walked out there on the side of the road.

I looked down. It was pouring down rain. I looked down and I found a little piece of lung. And I said, I hollered at him. I said, barely. I said, he went this way. I said, he walks up around a show of him. He said, he said, I thought it was way up.

I said, this is where he was. I said, come on. And we just started walking. walked out there about 75 yards old joy Jones is laying there burly got on his computer and because they said don't shoot him because he's you know you stone stone had been like working that beat you don't want to kill him because leave him for he make make other george Jones but i don't know why stone named him george john but when burly shot him and knew he was dead he just sent stone a text he stopped loving her

Today. I just sent it to him. And that deer hanging, you know, he had a deer rat. Old Stone's been mad

about that ever since. It hurt him. He has not been happy about George Jones with Burley. That one still, that one still

stings. I just heard him say, there's a big one and I'm like, well, he said, you take all to shoot him. I said, hey,

do what you want to do. Boom. I wouldn't shot him. Burley done it on purpose. Oh, yeah. He was just trying to give their eyes out of that stone. That's why the next year

Bernie come down and said he said, I want to kill a dog and Tom said, no, I'll kill you a dog. Well, Savi only got a couple of minutes left, but it's been fun having you on as always. It's been my pleasure. We want to let you guys know again about the podcast,

the new Duck Commander podcast that starts tomorrow. I think it's going to release every Thursday. Isn't that right, Cole? Going forward. And I will say this, Sire. You make, you and Kurt Lively, we talked about on the podcast for, y'all make preaching fun at WFR because you got, y'all are, they kind of give you some feedback, you know, while you're going. It's sort of like when you speak at an African American church, you know, you get a lot of feedback. In our church, it's sad.

I could never quite understand what size is saying, but I can hear him back there. He's giving me some, he's giving me some feedback while the sermon's going on. But that's, I like that, you know. Well, you know, I'm fired up. That's right. Yeah, I'm fired up. And I tell people that all the time because the most oft-asked question to me is about what about Uncle Si.

Is he as crazy in real life as he is on the show, you know, stuff like that? And a lot of them want to know is Cy Christian, you know, because like they don't know him as much from the show as they do us listen to the podcast. I was like, oh, he's, he's big time. I mean, if he's in town, he's at WFR, you know, raising the roof, you know, singing, singing praises and amen and sermons. Stone was telling Phyllis and her husband yesterday two or three days ago,

said Christine, Sy's woman, stays in one room in the house and Sia stays in another. And they said, what's with that? I said, survival. You tell Christine I said that. She may listen. Yeah, that's right.

She may be our secret podcast listener. I doubt it. Well, she's always listened to the computer, so I don't know. See, Christine, she's, I mean, think about it, she's been putting up aside for over 50 years now. No, no, that's the funny part. People would ask her, say, well, why ain't your wife on the show? And I said, number one, she's got more sense. And I said, number two, if you asked her personally, she'll tell you, hey, I have to live with that clown.

I don't need to be on TV with it. Which is funny. sigh we always have and size the real deal is just just what you see is who he is and I think that's what that's what showed up by the way as we close out this shows you at TV executives

you know sigh was just going to kind of be a recurring character kind of like Mountman initially you know they just they thought well a little of him will go a long way and they didn't realize that he would become the tip of the spear for the whole show which is why sometimes you know people sit around a boardroom table

and come up with ideas but once you actually get it going, you know, and Sye became the guy. So thanks, Sye. It's always good to visit. My pleasure. Thanks for listening to the Unashamed podcast.
