What unexpected health issue did Uncle Si discover?
That duck hunt was rough on my fingernails.
Hey, I want to talk about that. That Colin's bad on your fingernails?
Yeah. I burned your 28-gauge at Hart and Gaby.
Yeah.
I tore this one off.
I can't hear you. Put your mic on, Si.
Yeah.
How does Si's new smile relate to his health?
I tore this one off putting in 28-gauge shells. And then I looked, I was sitting there, I looked, and hey, this one's the same way. Now, I don't know how I tore this one.
Well, if you wouldn't have shot so many shells, you wouldn't have tore it all.
Well, hey.
Hey, when I saw Si, I said, hey, did y'all kill any ducks? Because we had all of our friends from Wisconsin come in. Yeah. And from life camp. And yeah, he said, son, did we strap them? I said, no, no. What really happened? He was like, no, hey, we strapped them. There you go. And apparently he got his fingers strapped. Si, what's wrong with them?
Hey.
Cracking. They're cracking.
What is LifeCampUSA and how does it support children?
They're old. They're old, man.
Release the cracking. I want to know if you shot. They're either just falling down or starting to crack. Falling down. Everything's going south, boys.
I want to know if you really shot those ducks. How many did you kill?
I have no idea.
Enough.
I just know that when they come by me, they tried to go out this way, they didn't make it.
That's what I said.
The next thing you'll hear, bam, and then splash. Somebody said, did you just shoot something? I said, well, of course I just shot something.
Did you hear the splash? Hey, I was telling them boys from Wisconsin about Si shooting, when they put blanks in his gun. You know? And he still killed him.
That's the best story there ever is.
What experiences do the boys share about their childhood injuries?
Wait.
Why? Look, because, hey, I was wondering.
Why don't you just take that headset off?
I was wondering what they was doing. Because they said, hey, let me see your 20 gauge a minute. So, like an idiot, I said, okay. So, I handed him my 20 gauge. What? Five minutes go by, you know, and we start calling a little old bunch of green-winged teal, you know, and I said, hey. They said, what? I said, hand me my gun. I said, we're going to get these in. I said, hey, hand me my gun. So I did, and I checked it to make sure it had rounds in it because I know they're bad about, you know, they want to do me in. So they come by one time, you know, and Jason's like, They turn around and come back again. Well, the third time they come back in and then they done this right in front of the decoys. And when they did, I just raised up and started, bam, bam, bam, three times.
I was looking at them when everything cleared, all the smoke cleared.
What humorous duck hunting stories does Si recount?
I said, well, boys, I don't know about y'all. I said, I was three for three. Well, they all busted off life, you know. So I went, no, we got you this time, boy. And I said, what are you talking about? He said, we put blanks in your gun. I said, see, that's what y'all don't understand. I said, boys, y'all ain't no ever taught me. I said, I just killed three green-winged teal at 15 feet, and I killed them with the wadding of a plank. And I said, hey, try again. Just keep trying. You may pull it off one of these days, but I doubt it. You can't catch him, Martin.
You ain't going to get him, man.
You ain't going to get me.
It was fine, man. I was sitting there watching the old man do his thing, man. I was behind everybody.
I was like, look, we're going to the duck hole one morning. Phil pulls up there, you know, and he said, hey, you know, he said, you'll like this. He said, guess what happened yesterday when you didn't come? I said, what? He said, hey, right here, when I was unlocking the gate, he said, when I opened it and drove the vehicle through, he said, black cat running across the road. I said, really? Yeah. And he said, I had my man from, uh, South Carolina with me, you know, paying him back for the hunt I had in South Carolina. Yeah. And I asked him, I said, Hey, what did you just say? And he said, I saw a black cat. He said, you haven't tell me more.
What insights does Mark Neumann share about supporting grieving children?
You don't give me the details. He said, well, I think it was a little house cat, you know, somebody's house cat, you know, or a baby one. Yeah. And I said, uh, I said, what are y'all getting at?
