Show Notes
Si revisits the frightening night before his emergency heart surgery, the conversation he had with God, and Phil's typically casual reaction to the whole ordeal. Godwin proves he's had a front-row seat to some of the wildest Robertson family moments, from legendary arguments to fiercely competitive game nights, including the time Phillip escaped through a bathroom window just to avoid the trash talk. Si recounts his latest alligator-hunting adventure, and stuns everyone with his surprisingly accurate knowledge about geese that are better guard dogs than dogs.
