Transcription

Chapter 1: What are Uncle Si's thoughts on psychedelics for veterans?

0.757 - 36.268 Si Robertson

Welcome back to the Duck Call Room, ladies and gentlemen. We are back. Si seems excited. Oh, well, he should be excited. He's 78, baby. Happy birthday. Well, thank you. How do you feel? 78. How does that feel? It sucks. I was expecting a little more prognostication from you. Because your brain says, hey, I can do that. Then your body says, hey, fool, you can't do that. Can't do it.

Chapter 2: How does Uncle Si celebrate turning 78 years old?

36.949 - 44.837 Si Robertson

You can't do that anymore. I bet you can. Here's the question of the day. Uh-oh. Deal or no deal? Deal.

0

45.34 - 48.464 Justin Martin

It depends on the price inside Mr. Mandel's box.

0

48.604 - 56.155 Si Robertson

Yeah. I'm telling you, I don't think they're going to take the deal. Oh, you're talking about that deal. Yeah, that deal. I don't think they're going to take it.

0

56.175 - 57.917 Justin Martin

You've been watching the news, Si?

0

58.057 - 61.482 Si Robertson

Yeah, I watch it. Yep. Yep. It's pitiful.

61.822 - 66.309 Unknown

I got some advice for you. Quit watching the news. He can't.

67.03 - 82.844 Si Robertson

Well, no. He don't know how to change a channel. And he ain't figured out how to work that Xbox yet. Okay. You're talking about a waste. What is? Because, hey, there has been $270 billion spent.

84.909 - 86.653 Justin Martin

I ain't got that kind of money.

87.836 - 91.665 Si Robertson

And there's nothing left of what they spent the money on.

Chapter 3: What would the hosts do with $270 billion spent on the military?

164.287 - 179.753 Si Robertson

I bet it wasn't taking that long to get them teeth done. I bet y'all his buddies would be real happy. I would probably give it away. Just give it away. No, no, I'm serious. Via the poker table? I would probably give it away. Via the poker table or just in general? Not everywhere.

0

179.733 - 212.066 Si Robertson

all right yo would you ever drive again huh would you ever drive again no no hey i hey this boy wouldn't ever get in a car you wouldn't get in a car how you gonna get places i'd drive a jet and land hey I'd be in a jet. Everywhere I go, I'd go jet. But like if you were just going to chicken filet. I wouldn't go nowhere. They'd bring chicken filet to me. That already happens. That's a good point.

0

212.086 - 232.946 Si Robertson

You ain't going nowhere. So you would never- That's where, hey, the little phrase is, absolute power corrupts absolutely. That's where that phrase comes from. Yeah. Because when you got all the money in the world, hey, I'd light cigars with a $100 bill. Just because you could?

0

233.287 - 239.876 Justin Martin

Just because I could. He was going to give it away, but then he thought about lightness. Well, that'd be good for your lungs.

0

239.896 - 256.905 Si Robertson

He's 78. That's why I got that stupid thing right now is I was stupid and smoked cigarettes because the government lied to me. You can't trust the government. They lied to you? Yeah, they lied to me. What did they tell you? They used to tell you it was good for you? Oh, yeah. They used to say cigarettes were good for you.

256.925 - 271.232 Justin Martin

Oh. Hey, yo. I did see an ad one time for a healthy new snack called sugar from like the 1950s. Oh, yeah. It was like a teaspoon of sugar will help you every day. Yeah. And I was like, that seems outrageous. Yes.

271.212 - 280.706 Si Robertson

Well, that's something that tickles me, okay, because for all my life, they've always been saying, oh, this is bad for you. This is bad for you.

Chapter 4: What memories do the hosts share about living in mobile homes?

280.746 - 287.956 Si Robertson

This is bad for you. Milk's bad for you. Eggs are bad for you. Bread's bad for you. Yeah.

0

288.117 - 288.377 Unknown

Yeah.

0

289.808 - 293.373 Si Robertson

Hey, welcome to life. Life is bad for you.

0

293.393 - 298.902 Unknown

A lot of things is bad for you. Yeah, that's right. So I turned 78 and went dark on it.

0

298.922 - 302.767 Si Robertson

Well, I am just, you know, that's what, you know, all our great minds.

302.807 - 313.967 Unknown

Think about this. It was 30, 40, 50 years ago, everybody smoking cigarettes. Then all of a sudden they say, well, cigarettes are bad for you. Remember when your mama passed away? Oh, yeah.

314.007 - 320.242 Si Robertson

How old was she? Hey, Phil said, yo, when mom passed away, Phil said, Sigurds finally got her.

320.563 - 321.224 Unknown

At 98. 94.

321.264 - 326.317 Si Robertson

94. It took her 94 years to get her, but it got her.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts view the impact of media on public perception?

399.077 - 415.082 Justin Martin

It was in magazines. Have a soft drink before your main meal. Sugar might be the willpower you need to curb your appetite. So whatever they're telling us now, one day there's going to be kids in 2072 laughing at whatever we're doing.

0

415.102 - 421.01 Si Robertson

But I wonder if that's not a little bit. Have you seen that? No.

0

421.39 - 425.035 Justin Martin

If you drink a Coke before your meal.

0

425.135 - 446.04 Si Robertson

I'm talking about Coke back then. I'm talking about before we figured out all the additives and other junk to put in it. When Coke would actually go bad. You know, like when it was just actually real sugar and not this processed junk that the high fructose corn syrup and all that kind of stuff. I saw that deal with Trump and Ibogaine.

0

446.408 - 456.201 Si Robertson

I also noticed that Marcus Luttrell was behind him, and if it were for Marcus Luttrell, I'm willing for anybody to go ahead and do that. Ibogaine? Yeah.

456.481 - 457.743 Justin Martin

I don't know what we're talking about.

458.364 - 482.088 Si Robertson

It's like, that's that deal Aaron Rodgers did. Well, he's normal. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm trying to think of the most popular ones that would know. I mean, I think Theo Vaughn's done it. They call it ayahuasca and other things, but it's really... You're really going down a path here, Martin. Oh, yeah. I'm in on that. I'm in on psychedelics, man. Microdosing mushrooms.

482.208 - 501.395 Si Robertson

It seems to help these people got PTSD, man. And if we can help those soldiers with that stuff, I'm in on it. Like, again, if Marcus Luttrell says it's good, if it worked for him after what that man saw... He saw... And did... You may at least ought to give it a whirl. That's all I'm saying. Things like that.

502.036 - 528.993 Si Robertson

Hey, that's why when people read something happens in the news and events involved, I say, well, if you fool with a veteran, you're really stupid. Because, hey, you're fooling with nitroglycerin. Yeah. Because it could go off on you at any time. Yeah. Because you don't know what that man's been through. Okay.

Chapter 6: What experiences do the hosts share about their unique friendships?

529.013 - 553.652 Si Robertson

I mean, most everybody's seen Latrell's movie, and that was the movie. I mean. I couldn't imagine what he saw in real life. Well, no, no. He talked to Phil and told the whole story to him, and Phil related some of it to me, and I said, good grief. Yeah. I said, that's unreal. But what was unreal is every time he'd have to jump off a mountain to get away from them,

0

554.695 - 579.513 Si Robertson

His M16 would end up, you know, he's tumbling down a mountain. Yeah. And when he stopped, his M16 would be in an arm's reach. That's what I'm saying. If it can work for that man, then it's at least worth a try. No, no, no. Here's the thing. You don't know if it's bad or good for somebody. No. And that's like doctors.

0

579.853 - 591.807 Si Robertson

The reason doctors can't help our vets, they ain't been through what they went through. Yeah. Hey, if you ain't been through it, you can't tell me nothing. Yeah. Yeah.
