Narrated by: Si Robertson

Length: 4 hrs and 41 mins

Publisher's summary

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 collection.

Si shares stories of the more than 25 marriage proposals he's received in the mail (some with photos!), how he came to use a green Tupperware cup for his ever-present sweet tea, and how his cigarette smoke made a deer cough (he's since quit smoking). And in many of these never-before-heard tales, Si openly talks about his wife and two children - who are never seen and rarely mentioned on the show.

Si's one-liners are sure to please die-hard fans and curious newbies alike. In no time, this smattering of zany stories will have you falling over with laughter and retelling them to all your friends.

PREACH SI! 6 out of 5 stars JACK!

What did you love best about Si-cology 1?

I really enjoyed how the story was laid out for the listener. Unlike other books of this nature that drag on endlessly until a conclusion that is beyond lackluster, in his book you can almost see whats going to happen, but at the same time the outcome (which you may already know) is viewed in an entirely different light. I also liked how this wasn't just a make it rich quick sell it why it's hot type book. It also lays out how Si isn't a character fabricated by a grad school producer.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The obvious answer to most would be Si and he is high on my list, but his wife Christine sounds like an awesome woman who endured a lot physically, mentally, and emotionally. Her story was just as compelling in my ow opinion and the courage she showed in the face of adversity should be lesson for all.

Have you listened to any of Si Robertson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Well, I guess Duck Dynasty on TV would be the only other platform and this book is just as good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and I did.

Any additional comments?

Take my word for it this book isn't about striking why the iron is hot. It's well written, well told, and well put together. Worth every cent jack!

Great Job

Love the parts where Jay Stone is kinda laughing as he is reading ...This book was surprisingly insightful and deep . Really got to know Si and his family . Also it's very funny and entertaining .Better than Phils book and that's a fact JACK NO NO YEAH !!!

Sincere

We were mostly amazed by how sincere and honest the book was. Great listen, thought-provoking. Chapters about building Si's new family, God and faith really touched our hearts.
We recommend this book 100%!

Terrible narration...not Uncle Si.

I was really looking forward to listening to 4 hours of Uncle Si spin his tale, 95% truthful, of course. That's not what I got. Uncle Si introduces the book, then turns it over to the most terrible narrator. I don't believe I have heard worse on any Audible book I've listened to. I was disappointed in this. If you can suffer through the narration, it's an enjoyable look into the life of Uncle Si...just wish he had narrated the whole book.

I gave the book an overall rating of 4 stars because I'm a fan of the show and Uncle Si, but the narration was just terrible.

How can you NOT buy this book????

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, Si is so funny and heartfelt.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Si-cology 1?

His conversion to Christ.

Which scene was your favorite?

Shoot birds when he was young.

Any additional comments?

Don't delay buy this book and listen to it in one setting.

Si ....is ....so much more than you think

Si Robertson is so much more than he appears to be . First of all I think he is very kind, he also seems to be someone you would like for a friend. When you read this book you may be surprised at the depth of this man . I never realized the places he has been and things that he has done. Si tells his story as only Si can do and I enjoyed hearing it very much

This is the best of all Robertson books.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It's no wonder that Sy's family adore him. He's a great story teller. He reminds me of my grandfather. What a wonderful family you have.

Good read

I read this book in 2 days. I couldn’t put it down!
This is the 3rd book by the family I have read and all were great reads .

Most entertaining audiobook I've read so far.

I've read all of Phil Robertson's books so far as well as Jase's book. This one is by far the most entertaining. I was disappointed that Si does not read his own book however his nephew does a great job. If you are a fan of Duck Dynasty this book is a must.

Fun to listen to!

Never really watched Duck Dynasty... got this book on recommendation from a friend. I normally listen to books about the Cold War, significant people from history, and industry, so I thought this book wouldn't be all that interesting. What I found is that this book is just plain fun to listen to! Si has some great stories and he's a pretty good story teller. Highly recommend, no matter what type of books you're in to!
