Chapter 1: What struggles did Uncle Si face with fame?
I can see through walls because I have ammonia in my brain. I'm not kidding y'all. I'm about to go buy some of that. Why? The last thing you need is more energy. Wait, let us watch you and monitor you for a little while.
Yeah, like if there was ever a customer for not smelling salts, it's you. I'm about to. As you pound that Celsius between your, I mean like. I'm hiding this one. You are going to die of a heart attack. What? What is it? Depends on how much I drink. Resting. If you're resting, it should be pretty consistent.
Huh? No, mine's between 55 and 60. Yeah. There you go. Beat a minute. Or a second. All right. Don't come at me. Jump ropes were hard. Had it figured out. That's all I'm saying. But them smelling salts got me. We talked about it last episode. The warning labels said keep away from people with lung problems. So we didn't bring them around. But I can see through walls now. That stuff's wild.
Martin, can you see through walls? I can't see through walls, but I feel something. I know why they said leave it away from people with lung problems. I know why they said that. Can confirm that. Don't do drugs. Happy birthday, Phil. Thank you. Happy birthday, Phillip. 54. 55. 55? 55. Double nickels, baby. He just called you a speed limit. That's right. You got it right. Meant to be broken. Yep.
Chapter 2: Why is it good Si didn't get famous younger?
That's right. Do you realize if you double in age, you'll be 110? Yes, I do. That's wild. Yep. I mean, that's what the smell of salt's getting. I was waiting for some profound. Nope, that's it. We're going somewhere. No, we're not.
I was waiting for the punchline. That's how I feel today.
Well, you know what you need to do tonight, Phillip?
Tell me.
If you get bored and you need to be entertained on your 55th birthday. Hot tub with a cigar? No, you need to unlock your phone and get on Instagram. Nope, not Instagram. Oh, it's on Instagram. I know, but there's another thing that's happened to it. Wait, what is this? You've seen it. Have the people seen it? I don't think so. No, nobody knows. I get on my phone. My Facebook's not public, right?
Yeah. I get on my phone the other day and I have a notification and I screenshotted it because it just didn't make any sense to me. It said, you have a new friend suggestion on Facebook. Look who joined the world of social media. Jay Stump. And I was like, you know what I said? He been hacked. Somebody, some guy in a cave somewhere with that talks funny called Jay and Jay was rude to him.
And so now he said, all right, big dog, I'm going to impersonate you on Facebook. And so then I clicked it. 100%. Husband, father, duck man.
He was in my office for 20 minutes this morning because he couldn't figure out some things on it. And I was like, man, I love when old people get social media. Oh, yeah. Right. And then he also joined The Gram. Yeah, he's on Instagram. That's where I saw him the first time. Old duckman underscore stone. Y'all go give him a follow. I'm sure it'd be some riveting and lightning.
I really think he's just doing it to make fun of all of Willie's kids. Well, the duck boys have definitely been the focus of his first few posts. That and sign deer hunting. Yeah, there it is. Duckman Stone. It is. Hey, let me say, good follow. We're averaging more than a post today.

Chapter 4: What did Martin experience in Las Vegas?
What were we playing? Roulette? Roulette. Yeah, playing roulette. They were playing. Me and Johnny D were just there talking.
I was watching.
And Johnny D looked at him and said, you know what? Watching people who's got like a house note on the line gambles way more fun than watching you gamble. It was wild. He does well for himself. And he did well on the roulette wheel somehow. He walked away with more than me. Yeah, he walked away with more money than he started there with. And me and Johnny D sat there and watched him.
It was like watching Drew Brees. I was just cheering him on. Yeah. But your gut was a little bit sick thinking about all that money. Oh, no, I would have pooped my pants. If that was my money, I'd be like, well, let me go back to the grindstone for the next six months. These worms ain't going to sell themselves. We went down.
I just wasted a year's salary.
Yeah, nope. We went to the Golden Moose Awards in Vegas. Remember all that? I remember the moose.
And so when it was over, Si went to play at the poker table. And he sat down at the table with some really, really good players. And I walked by and looked at him. One of them had made the final table at the World Series of Poker sitting right beside Cy. I was like, Cy, you in over your head. And he was winning. Cy was winning. That's because they all play by a certain set of rules.
They don't know how to play with this.
Not that guy. Hey, that's why they have a hard time with me.

This podcast will be over. I will be in a cash game of cash games, buddy.
I'd go tow this luggage.
Hey, I'm telling you. And hopefully I get a little tip money.

Ain't that the truth. You still could be. It's wild, man. I could go with Si. $150 million, what you get? Who, me? I don't know what I'm doing if I have $150 million. Would we know? Yeah. I would find out? Yeah. You wouldn't know if I did. No, I'm not doing anything illegal.
Oh, y'all know. Y'all know if I did, because I slide it to the people that I like and care about. How much you need. Like, what gets you to zero? I'm just saying, what gets you to zero on the books? Like, where you don't owe nobody nothing. And I gave you that. Here you go. Let me know first, so I can go buy a few things.
Well, that's fine. Yeah, if you get a sniff of it, go try it. I still buy you out. I don't care. But, like, I'm just saying. I bought a boat. That's the kind of stuff. I mean, because that's what. I do. That's what I did with the first time we got any Duck Dynasty money. I went and made sure I didn't owe nobody nothing. I was like, hey, pay that truck off. Like, get that done.
I ain't ever owned a truck in my life. The bank owned every one of them. Hold on. I ain't a big Dave Ramsey guy, but I agree. Yeah, no, you just get to where you don't owe nobody nothing. If you can help some of your friends out in that same predicament, that's cool, man. $150 million is up. There'd be some new owner.
That was one of the... Boy, I ain't going to work every day. That was one of the nice things about the show because I gave it to some good charity. Yeah.

Chapter 6: How does Si feel about social media?
Florida. Jacksonville. He's from the Panhandle. He's a redneck. A panhandler. Yeah, we hired one from there. Okay. Go ahead. Oh, Cade's dad called me.
Hey, guys. My name's Denver, and I'm from the Panhandle, Florida. First of all, Hunter, I just want to say there's nothing wrong with driving a long way to get to a nice movie theater. Anyway, my question's for everyone.
Hunter picked this.
If you're going to go on a vacation or something... How far is too far to drive? And at what point do you just fly? Thanks. Enjoy the podcast and y'all have a great day. Yes.
This is a great question because I'm currently in an argument with my entire family that Colorado Springs is too far to drive. How far is it? Too far. I can say with the boys, I don't want to drive. Hey, I don't want to be in a car more than a day, right? Like a day. I'm not saying 24 hours, but like, I don't want to have to wake up. I want to spend night somewhere and wake up and keep driving.
I don't even like driving to Monroe with my kids. Us right now, it's like eight hours. So like Chattanooga, Nashville, we can do that. No problem. Very little issue. But over that, we about to jump on a bird and get there. Now what's the furthest vacation you've ever driven to? Don't know. I ain't one to really vacate. Now look, for a hunting trip, yeah, he'll drive away.
I ain't a vacation man. What's the furthest you've ever driven to hunt an animal? Idaho. I'd be to South Texas. No, you drove to Idaho, didn't you? Back in the day when everybody went west. Idaho? We ain't had the money to fly. Then don't go. I mean, but ducks are there.
Ducks are here too? Oh, you didn't make that one. No, I didn't make it. That was up there when y'all was on Columbia River.
Yeah, all that stuff.
