About this ebook

You know him from the hit A&E® show Duck Dynasty®—now you can enjoy Uncle Si’s tall tales, crazy exploits, and quirky one-liners in one raucous collection!

“These hands are so fast, I can get your wallet before you know it. In a minute, you’ll be standing there buck naked and won’t know what hit you!” “Look here—if it wasn’t for my tripped knee, I’d be playing in the NBA today.” “Hey, Jack!” Any of these sound familiar? If they do—or even if they don’t—you’re in for a good laugh. The brother of patriarch Phil Robertson, Uncle Si has a limitless supply of stories about his childhood, duck hunting adventures, his days in Vietnam, and everything in between. Now the best of those tales are gathered into this roaring book.

And as Uncle Si recounts his outlandish tales, he weaves in an up-close look into his personal life. You’ll learn about his childhood as the youngest son in the Robertson family, his college days, and how he came to use a green Tupperware cup for his ever-present tea.. And in many of these never-before-heard tales, Si openly talks about his wife Christine and two children, Scott and Trasa—who are never seen and rarely mentioned on the show.

Sure to please die-hard fans and curious newbies alike, Si’s one-liners are presented alongside fun, expressive photographs, as well as photos of his family. As you learn about his behind-the-scenes life, this smattering of zany stories will have you falling over with laughter and retelling them to all your friends.

Ratings and reviews

My family and I are great fans!! My husband loves Duck Dynasty, of course, we both love Si like crazy. I absolutely love this book! I have to say that I have not been able to get into a book and read it ro the end. This book, completely different. Loved each chapter, every page, even pictured Si in my mind with alot of what hes saying, and would make me laugh even more. I love this family :)

I enjoyed every page of this book. This goes along with the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover". Reading this book was so heart warming and inspirational. I will try and get all my family to read this book. God bless you Si.

His stories are funny, and he shares little parts of history through his experience in the Vietnam war which I found fascinating. Parts of his book made me laugh out loud and wonder how he comes up with his totally out of the box observations/funny sayings. The end was preachy but he's passionate about it. Pretty cool.
