Summary

Uncle Si welcomes Army veteran Blake Cook, a former 82nd Airborne paratrooper whose story takes him from a would-be Call of Duty gamer to a real-life combat soldier surviving an IED blast and a brutal parachute jump. Jay Stone reveals both what he was paid to narrate Si’s autobiography and the personal price he paid for the experience. John-David lights up at finally having another gamer in the room, and Martin’s mood rides the rollercoaster of Louisiana heat.
