Almost Brothers Podcast
A Friendsgiving Full of Surprises
Ever wondered what happens when a Friendsgiving gathering meets the chaos of technical glitches and forgotten dishes? Picture this: laughter, gratitude, and a dash of sarcasm. Join us as we navigate the hilarity of our Friendsgiving 2024 edition of the Almost Brothers podcast, featuring our charismatic guests Rich, Liv, and Jamie. You’ll get a front-row seat to our banter, from teasing Liv about her stage fright to celebrating Ty-ty’s adorable admiration for his wife and those loud dogs. It's an episode that's sure to leave you feeling warm and fuzzy with gratitude for both family and chosen family, all wrapped in a cozy blanket of humor.
But that's not all! Get ready to relive some nostalgic gaming moments, as we recount our return to PlayStation and the thrill of conquering "God of War" on the PS5. We reminisce about the days of Atari's Pong and even throw in a nod to "That '70s Show" for good measure. The episode then shifts to lively debates on TV shows like "Outer Banks" versus "Vampire Diaries," all while sharing heartwarming updates on family and friendship. We celebrate Blaze’s incredible journey from non-verbal to full sentences and share playful stories of kids like Zaylee and Bubby. Between job searches and heartfelt reconnects, we promise a candid glimpse into the joys of life, friendship, and family dynamics.

This family, this extended family, and just what y'all mean to me and, more importantly, what y'all mean to my kids. That's a huge deal. Our family is kind of a broken, scattered family and they don't have a lot of support and not a lot of us are close. So having y'all in their lives and your kids in their lives, and Tyler and Liv as their godparents means a whole lot.
Speaker 3:You what I said.
Speaker 1:I am the godfather. That's right. So that means a lot to me knowing that my kids have that support system.

Speaker 3:That he skips buying press or clicks on One Tree Hill.
Speaker 1:Oh, I've been re-watching SWAT again. Okay, does anybody watch like a reality TV?
Speaker 3:I watched, like the first, I think, two seasons of Love is Blind on Netflix, okay.
Speaker 7:It's hard to watch.
Speaker 3:For me it's one of those I watch because of almost like how weird yeah, like what was it? Love is blind. So basically okay. So basically it's I don't know 10 men, 10 women or whatever, and they all, they go on these blind dates in these pods. For those who can't see, I'm air quoting.
Speaker 1:Air quote button Air quote.
Speaker 3:But basically they're getting to know each other in these rooms where they can't see each other over however many days, weeks or whatever, until someone starts asking hey, will you marry me?
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's very dramatic they propose.
Speaker 3:They say yes or no. They say yes, then they get to meet in person. That's weird.
Speaker 2:You know what show I wish they'd bring back?
Speaker 1:Rock of Love.
Speaker 2:Flavor of Love.
Speaker 1:Oh, I was close. Flavor of Love or Flavor of Flav?

Speaker 1:He's got a heck of a testimony.
Speaker 3:Is that right?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, just like where he's come from, and drug abuse and getting cleansed and sober that's awesome. Oh my God, dude, it's it's awesome, I know literally nothing about him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is really really cool To see how he was when the show first came out and was popular. So, now they're doing the family vacation. So he's a completely different person.
Speaker 1:He's like a public speaker who's like a positive. He goes to AA meetings and encourages people to get clean and get sober. It's so, it's so good. I mean he just completely transformed, not just his drug abuse, but like his entire, like the way he was, he was just this real big jerk and now he's like just an awesome, like well, you shouldn't get him on here, that's so good. I would like to hear about it. It's really really cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the newer seat. I guess the newer Jersey Shore followed him as he was getting ready to go to prison. Yeah, for was it two years I?
Speaker 1:think it was something like that. Yeah, it was a good, I think it was 18 months, something like that.
