Its hurricane season and the Group Chat Podcast boys hunker down for an episode that’s equal parts heartfelt, hilarious, and downright questionable (looking at you, raw dogged green beans). From sharing stories of past storms—both the terrifying and the downright ridiculous—to debating the ultimate hurricane survival meals, this episode captures the spirit of DTB resilience and community.
Casey, Damien, Nick, and Tommy swap their wildest evacuation memories (yes, including shady motels, canned Budweiser water, and Seinfeld marathons) while ranking the most annoying hurricane clichés of all time. Plus, they get real about how the Down the Bayou community always comes together post-storm—feeding neighbors, clearing debris, and out-hustling FEMA at every turn.
And of course, it wouldn’t be a Group Chat Podcast without a food fight: potted meat vs. Vienna sausage, chili over noodles, and why grandma’s freezer stash might just be the secret weapon of hurricane prep. The love for Clifton Billiot is real in this episode. If the Group Chat Podcast had a spirit animal, it’d be Clifton Billiot. This legend dropped a show-stopping line—“I drink beer and laugh at that, me”—and instantly became a folk hero for anyone who knows how to find joy during the storm.
So grab your box fan, your PlayStation, and maybe a cold beer, and ride out this episode with the crew. Just remember—don’t do anything stupid on the roads.
