Ever wondered what happens when a grown man attempts to stuff as many marshmallow Peeps as possible into his mouth? The latest Friday Night Live edition of the Ben Maynard Program answers this burning question with equal parts humor and disappointment.
This week's livestream takes an unexpected turn as Ben announces a simulcast on TikTok—a first for the show—while lamenting his terrible performance in the annual "Peep Pack Challenge." Despite once holding a personal record of 15 marshmallow bunnies, Ben barely manages 8 before surrendering, comparing himself to an aging baseball player who can no longer catch up to fastballs. The self-deprecating humor and genuine disappointment make for an endearingly authentic moment.
Between celebrity birthdays, historical facts, and show updates, Ben shares news of an exciting venture: a music-focused podcast called "Talking Rock Fan" with his friend Shannon from Indiana. Their natural chemistry during test runs promises engaging conversations for music enthusiasts, with a Facebook page already active for curious listeners. Ben also recounts a parking lot mishap where someone backed into his truck and drove away, prompting an impromptu chase to capture the license plate.
Perhaps most touching is Ben's brief but heartfelt reminder about Easter's true significance amid the marshmallow madness. As a self-described "staunch Christian," he emphasizes that while egg hunts and baskets are fun, the resurrection story remains central to the holiday's meaning—adding unexpected depth to an otherwise lighthearted stream.
Whether you're here for the challenges, the conversation, or simply Ben's inimitable hosting style, this episode delivers the perfect Friday night entertainment. Subscribe to the podcast, follow on social media, and join the growing Ben Maynard community for more unpredictable moments every week!

Challenge is a way to get you,the audience, to participate,
get you to get a littleengagement between you and I and

(05:18):
after a month ago.
It's been speaking of a month.
It's been a month since we werelast together on Friday Night
Live.
I think that was because we didthe drunk show Aftermath, and
the drunk show Aftermath, ofcourse, was a week after the
drunk show.
So there was a drunk show and itwas my public service
(05:44):
announcement to everyone at hometo give you a little heads up
on the effects of alcohol on you.
My daughter, tess, was instudio with me.
We had a good time.
She monitored me.
It was a ton of fun.
Well, it was fun to have her inthe studio.
I got hammered all right for allthe newbies.
(06:04):
I got thrashed so much so Idon't even remember the last 45
minutes of the show.
But, as I said, it was mypublic service announcement.
I did it, so you didn't have to.
And just you know I'm a realbig believer in drinking
responsibly, and so that's kindof how it was.
(06:27):
You get to see the effects ofalcohol on me.
I'm not the biggest guy, but Iwould say I'm on the medium to
larger build.
I'm six foot, I'm over 200pounds, so I'm not little, and
you could get to see how it hadits effect on me.
So there you go.
(06:48):
That was a month ago.
A month ago we did that and nowwe're back.

was just talk.
Just talked about music,different things, and he hasn't
done this thing before, and notthat I'm some great veteran or
anything like that, but I amcertainly used to talking into a
(14:45):
microphone and looking into acamera and hoping that there are
people out there watching, whenI know that there actually
nobody.
There is nobody watching whenyou're, when you're recording
the show.
But, um, so we just got, youknow, got into some good, uh,
music conversation and that'skind of really what the flow of

Podcast worked out, hopingtomorrow we'll see what happens,
but uh, until then we're here,and katherine has way more
followers than I do.
I mean, obviously I have none,so that's just the way it goes.
(18:27):
Uh, oh man, I'll tell you.
You know what this was.
This was.
This made me so mad.
So mad because people are just,I don't know, so inconsiderate.
So I had gone to the grocerystore this afternoon and I was
in the parking lot and I'm goingdown the aisle and I had to
(18:48):
come to a stop.
I see my parking spot righthere up on my left side, but I
can't get to yet because thatone vehicle backing out of one
spot over here, another vehiclebacking out of spot over here,
so they're kind of waiting foreach other.
I see a guy walk past my truckon my right side and, okay,
(19:09):
walks past me, no big deal, andI'm sitting here.
I'm still waiting for thesefolks to figure out what they're
doing, pulling out of theirparking stalls, and all of a
sudden I'm just sitting here, mytruck, all of a sudden I one of
these things, yeah, and I'mlike what?
And I looked to my side andthere's a pickup truck backing
(19:32):
into the side of my vehicle.
I was like, oh, you gotta bekidding me.
So I laid out my horn.
Of course the guy pulls forwardinto his parking stall.
Now the two vehicles I'mwaiting for they've pulled out
of there, they've taken care oftheir business and they're on
their way.
(19:56):
So I pull right up ahead intothe parking spot I was waiting
for because it was literallylike two spots up and pulled in,
got out, the guy's backing upand he's driving away and I'm
going yo, really, I literallydid.
I yelled at him and he justkept on going, I had my, I had
my phone with me and, uh, Igrabbed my phone and I literally
started running after the truckand I thought, okay, well, I
(20:19):
gotta, it was a company vehicletoo, it had some kind of a logo
on the door, and so I I grabbedmy phone and I'm running after
the truck.
I'm just trying to get closeenough because I don't think I'm
going to catch up to the guy.
You know, I did all right, youknow, for a 60 year old guy, I
was, I was, you know, doing,okay, I wasn't in a full sprint,
but for my age, you know, itwas almost a full sprint anyway.
(20:45):
But so so I I got close enoughto where I opened up.
I'm running and I'm opening myphone at the same time.
I hit my camera, open it up,and and then I get close enough
and I zoomed in and I got a shotof the license plate yeah, you
(21:05):
know it.
And then I had to stop and Iopened it up.
Oh yeah, I can read the wholething right there.
Get your sucker.
So I did go back to my truck, ofcourse, afterwards, and look,
there wasn't.
Let's put it this way If youdidn't know, there's there.
(21:33):
If you didn't know anything hadhappened, you might not really
spot the dent in my truck.
It's it's that minimal, butthat's not the point.
It is there now and it wasn'tthere when I was driving through
the parking lot before I got topark my truck.
So it was really inconsiderate,especially when I'm rocking
like so you know, yet you hitsomething.
(21:54):
So give me a break.
Okay, homes Just not cool.
It's just not cool at all, andI don't understand how people
can be so inconsiderate.
All right, but unfortunatelythat's the way it goes.
So that happened.
I'll take care of it.
I'll probably call my insurancecompany on Monday and I'll give
(22:16):
them the license plate numberand then they can proceed from
there.
I don't know if they're goingto want me to, like, call the
police department and file areport.
Maybe, I don't know, who knows,we'll figure it out.
Actually, wait, wait,tomorrow's set.
I might be able to call themtomorrow because I think they
they have.
They have people standing by onSaturdays.
So, yeah, take care of ittomorrow.
You're gonna get it bud anyway.
(22:39):
Uh, all right.
So look what's coming up.
Well, the reason.
Okay, I don't know if you guysoh, you guys at home on TikTok,
you didn't see this, but tonightwe are going to do, and nobody
has called in yet, so we aregoing to do.
Where'd it go?
Ah, there, it is Right at thebottom of the screen.
(23:03):
Here you can see the crawl, orthe scroll, and what does it say
?
It says the revenge tour.
Now, for all you new peopleyou're not going to know, for
all the folks that have beenaround for at least a year, if
you remember, what month are wein?
We're in April right now.
(23:24):
What is next week?
What is on?
What is that like?
April 20th, easter Sunday.
Okay, last year I celebratedEaster Sunday with you all,
right here, live in the studio,by doing a peep pack.
(23:45):
Now, what's a peep pack?
Where's my stuff here?
Ah, there's my stuff.
There's my stuff.
If my daughter, tess, is stillwatching, she knows what a peep
pack is.
If my kids, if any of my kids,are watching, they know what a
peep pack is.
If my grandkids are watching,they know what a peep pack is.
(24:06):
And it's peep pack.
Okay, two words peep pack.
So you guys know these, right,you know these, all the peeps,
and you know the littlemarshmallow.
There's the little marshmallowchicks and then there's the
marshmallow.
Now they have littlemarshmallow baby bunnies as well
(24:28):
, and they got like a thousanddifferent flavors.
Okay, maybe not a thousand, ahundred different flavors.
They're really cool.
They're really cool.
What I did last year is I triedto see how many of these little
baby bunnies I could cram intomy pie hole without throwing up,
and I had to close my lips too.
(24:51):
Ok.
So of course, in celebration ofEaster Sunday, we are going to
have a peak Pack.
Now, easter is another weekfrom now, but Friday Night Live
isn't always every Friday night,it's just from, I'd say, every
once in a while or when workdoesn't afford me the
opportunity to write and preparea show.
(25:12):
Then we got to stream livebecause I got to get you your
dose of Ben Maynard every week.
So we're going to do the peatpack shortly.
But first, before we get intothat peat pack now, oh, you know

So if I am going to puke, youknow I won't.
You know, there is no hair tohold back.
Well, there's hair, but it'snot long.
Now, yeah, what happenedNothing.

I didn't document how many peepsI crammed into my pile.
Jeff probably knows, but Ithink it was like because it was
(28:05):
the larger ones, it was thechicks, I think it was like
eight or nine.
All right, look.
All right.
You want me to scoot over?
Come on, get in right here soyou can get some face time.
Where are you going Now?
You got hair time, okay, yeah,now I'm too far away.
It's okay, that's all right.
(28:30):
Okay, I'm on YouTube.
Let me go back to my spot.
Yeah, okay, cool, all right, sowe're going to get into that
peat pack, but you know what?
First things first.
I'm going to get a littleserious here.
You can celebrate Easter Sundayhowever you want to.
You can have all your, your,your Easter egg hunts and Easter
baskets and all that kind ofstuff and pretty sundresses, and
you know all that, all thatgood stuff, and that's all great
(28:52):
.
Um, there's absolutely nothingwrong with that.
But, just like with Christmas,I don't want people to forget
what easter sunday is all about.
Um, you know, for my audience,you guys know, for the ones that
have been around for a while,we're, we're like, we're staunch
christians, we're hardcorechristians and, uh, and so the
(29:15):
two biggest, so the two biggestholidays within our faith, the
biggest celebrations areChristmas Day, with the birth of
our Savior Jesus Christ, and,of course, easter Sunday, when
after, with you know, on thethird day, christ rose from the
dead.
Ok, so that is like, that islike the staple and that's what
(29:40):
really our religion is based on.
So just don't forget that stuff.
Okay, don't forget that and goahead and celebrate Easter
Sunday any old way you want to,but just don't forget what it's
truly all about.
Okay, so with that, here we go.
(30:02):
I know I like sigh and I groanlike I'm going to hate this.
I'm going to love this, I'mgoing to love every minute of it
, all right, so let's open upthis pack right here, right
there, eight little little babybunnies, and then we will open
up the purple pack.
Also.
(30:22):
That's another eight littlebaby bunnies.
Now I can tell you this, that Iknow that my record this was
quiet.
This was a few years back.
Oh wait, yeah, you better holdthis bag over here, my love.
It doesn't encourage yourviewers to share your life.
Well, how do I I don't knowwhat that means Just tell them,
(30:44):
oh, okay, people out therewatching.
Tell your friends that I love.
No, share it.
Share it, oh, share it.
Share it.
However.
You do that, okay, share itwith, like, all your friends and
all your buddies, and thenwe'll have more people watching.
Okay, um, since there's like noone watching on YouTube, okay,
they just are right now.
Yeah, they were earlier, butnow they're gone.
They leave right before thegood stuff.
(31:06):
So my record on the little babybunnies is 15.
Now, that was, uh, that wasquite.
That was a few years ago.
I was a few years ago.
I was a little bit younger manthen, and so I don't know if I
(31:28):
could.
I don't know.
Maybe there was a little moreelasticity or maybe my mouth was
much larger then and as I getolder it's shrinking.
I don't know, who knows.
But we're going to get get thisstarted.
We have 16 to start.
I have an additional eightright behind here, so I don't
know, I don't think we're gonnaget to those, but I'm hoping
(31:50):
that and this is the one timewhere he is quiet and I get to
talk oh, yeah, well, okay.
But if you're gonna talk,you're going to talk off camera,
here to the tiktok audience,but to the youtube audience.
You'll be on camera.
So, okay, well, yeah.
So yeah, there you go.
Well, scoot it, scoot, scoot alittle closer.
Why don't I?
(32:10):
No, no, scoot free to get outof it.
I'm not.
No, I'm okay.
This is my show.
I'm never gonna be.
How many um peeps?
Okay, well, like I said, we'vegot.
Oh, no, not you.
I want everyone to guess.
Oh, take a guess, yeah, take aguess at how many peeps.
Let me see if we have anycomments.
I don't think we do.
No, we have no comments.
So, yeah, start guessing at howmany peeps that I'm going and
(32:44):
close my lips.
When I first did it I thoughteasy, and I think I got three.
So let's see, he's got a methodto his madness here.
Yeah, I'll see.
All right, here we go.
Okay, this is one, and it'sgood because there's so many in
a pack so you don't really haveto count.
And it's over.
It's pretty fast, it goes byfast.
Oh, we'll see about that.
Yeah, oh, he's still talking.
Okay, so that's three.
(33:06):
And see how he puts them in onthe side.
But it's more gross when theyall come out of his mouth.
What, oh, someone's guessing Onthe back.
Oh, oh, let's put it there.
(33:28):
Yeah, okay, so that is.
This is the sixth one one goingon.
Six, okay, come on, hit thelike button, tap your screen,
(33:56):
keep going.
Eight, well, I'm saying it too.
Eight, no more.

Let me get you one.
Oh, oh, ma'am, I am so bitterlydisappointed.

What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me?
Oh, that was only eight.
I got eight of those big oldchicks.
Last year I got eight littlebaby bunnies.

Well, wait a second.
Oh, that is horrible, that'sterrible.

(35:20):
dying.
So no one's dumping you yetwith questions.
No, nobody's asking me anyquestions.
No.
Musical trivia no, and I'm notas good looking as you are, so
people aren't as interested inthat stuff.
You know that's horrible.

That was.
You know what.
You deserve so much more thanthat.
You deserve way better thanthat performance.
That was absolutely terribleperformance.
I don't know what to say.
(36:03):
I should be ashamed of myself.
I mean, when I end the showI'll probably walk out of here
hanging my head in shame.
Yeah, that was bad.
(36:23):
That was so bad I didn't evencome close.
You know, maybe it's like a,maybe it's like a.

Okay, I'll explain it to you.
It's Friday night, it's alittle bit special, it's a
little different than what, okay, wait, wait, no, I don't need

So it's a little bit different.
It's a little more loose.

Challenge is a way to get you,the audience, to participate,
get you to get a littleengagement between you and I and

(05:18):
after a month ago.
It's been speaking of a month.
It's been a month since we werelast together on Friday Night
Live.
I think that was because we didthe drunk show Aftermath, and
the drunk show Aftermath, ofcourse, was a week after the
drunk show.
So there was a drunk show and itwas my public service
(05:44):
announcement to everyone at hometo give you a little heads up
on the effects of alcohol on you.
My daughter, tess, was instudio with me.
We had a good time.
She monitored me.
It was a ton of fun.
Well, it was fun to have her inthe studio.
I got hammered all right for allthe newbies.
(06:04):
I got thrashed so much so Idon't even remember the last 45
minutes of the show.
But, as I said, it was mypublic service announcement.
I did it, so you didn't have to.
And just you know I'm a realbig believer in drinking
responsibly, and so that's kindof how it was.
(06:27):
You get to see the effects ofalcohol on me.
I'm not the biggest guy, but Iwould say I'm on the medium to
larger build.
I'm six foot, I'm over 200pounds, so I'm not little, and
you could get to see how it hadits effect on me.
So there you go.
(06:48):
That was a month ago.
A month ago we did that and nowwe're back.
So it's all right, it's allgood.
So, welcome in everybody toFriday Night Live.

The audience isn't huge, but wepick up new members.
And I'm working on anotherpodcast with a guy.
His name is Shannon.
He lives in Indiana.
So right there, we have alittle bit of a challenge
because there's a three-hourtime difference.
So we have to work out ourschedules, trying to come
together.
We talked a bit last week.
(14:24):
Actually, I streamed him in sowe could see one another face to
face, kind of see how thingswould look, and just all we did
was just talk.
Just talked about music,different things, and he hasn't
done this thing before, and notthat I'm some great veteran or
anything like that, but I amcertainly used to talking into a
(14:45):
microphone and looking into acamera and hoping that there are
people out there watching, whenI know that there actually
nobody.
There is nobody watching whenyou're, when you're recording
the show.
But, um, so we just got, youknow, got into some good, uh,
music conversation and that'skind of really what the flow of
(15:07):
the podcast will be.
We're going to talk a lot aboutmusic and he's already come up
with a title for the show.
He came up with artwork and allthat kind of stuff and you know
what.
Hold on a second.
I think I have something here,just so you can check it out.
Let me see if I have it here.
Put these on.

would be great.
It'd be awesome and and he's,it's just he's a really cool guy
and the conversation, just itflows real easily.

Okay, facebook is really rightnow and for many, many years.
Facebook is the one socialmedia platform why I am the most
active.
I do have the Instagram page,as you heard in the opening, but
my wife, catherine, managesthat and she set it up herself.
(17:03):
I have no control over it, soif I need anything done on it,
then I have to go through herand we kind of get lazy on the
Instagram page, to be perfectlyhonest with you, but I am pretty
active on Facebook.
I know it's more for old people, but I'm old.
So, yeah, just Ben Maynard.

Yeah, so you get two Facebookpages that you have to join.
(17:46):
You've got to join the TalkingRock Fan Facebook page and then

All right, and then one ofthese days we'll get the.
I'll get my own TikTok for thepodcast worked out, hoping,
(18:06):
tomorrow We'll see what happens,but until then we're here.
Podcast worked out, hopingtomorrow we'll see what happens,
but uh, until then we're here,and katherine has way more
followers than I do.
I mean, obviously I have none,so that's just the way it goes.
(18:27):
Uh, oh man, I'll tell you.
You know what this was.
This was.
This made me so mad.
So mad because people are just,I don't know, so inconsiderate.
So I had gone to the grocerystore this afternoon and I was
in the parking lot and I'm goingdown the aisle and I had to
(18:48):
come to a stop.
I see my parking spot righthere up on my left side, but I
can't get to yet because thatone vehicle backing out of one
spot over here, another vehiclebacking out of spot over here,
so they're kind of waiting foreach other.
I see a guy walk past my truckon my right side and, okay,
(19:09):
walks past me, no big deal, andI'm sitting here.
I'm still waiting for thesefolks to figure out what they're
doing, pulling out of theirparking stalls, and all of a
sudden I'm just sitting here, mytruck, all of a sudden I one of
these things, yeah, and I'mlike what?
And I looked to my side andthere's a pickup truck backing
(19:32):
into the side of my vehicle.
I was like, oh, you gotta bekidding me.
So I laid out my horn.
Of course the guy pulls forwardinto his parking stall.
Now the two vehicles I'mwaiting for they've pulled out
of there, they've taken care oftheir business and they're on
their way.
(19:56):
So I pull right up ahead intothe parking spot I was waiting
for because it was literallylike two spots up and pulled in,
got out, the guy's backing upand he's driving away and I'm
going yo, really, I literallydid.
I yelled at him and he justkept on going, I had my, I had
my phone with me and, uh, Igrabbed my phone and I literally
started running after the truckand I thought, okay, well, I
(20:19):
gotta, it was a company vehicletoo, it had some kind of a logo
on the door, and so I I grabbedmy phone and I'm running after
the truck.
I'm just trying to get closeenough because I don't think I'm
going to catch up to the guy.
You know, I did all right, youknow, for a 60 year old guy, I
was, I was, you know, doing,okay, I wasn't in a full sprint,
but for my age, you know, itwas almost a full sprint anyway.
(20:45):
But so so I I got close enoughto where I opened up.
I'm running and I'm opening myphone at the same time.
I hit my camera, open it up,and and then I get close enough
and I zoomed in and I got a shotof the license plate yeah, you
(21:05):
know it.
And then I had to stop and Iopened it up.
Oh yeah, I can read the wholething right there.
Get your sucker.
So I did go back to my truck, ofcourse, afterwards, and look,
there wasn't.
Let's put it this way If youdidn't know, there's there.
(21:33):
If you didn't know anything hadhappened, you might not really
spot the dent in my truck.
It's it's that minimal, butthat's not the point.
It is there now and it wasn'tthere when I was driving through
the parking lot before I got topark my truck.
So it was really inconsiderate,especially when I'm rocking
like so you know, yet you hitsomething.
(21:54):
So give me a break.
Okay, homes Just not cool.
It's just not cool at all, andI don't understand how people
can be so inconsiderate.
All right, but unfortunatelythat's the way it goes.
So that happened.
I'll take care of it.
I'll probably call my insurancecompany on Monday and I'll give
(22:16):
them the license plate numberand then they can proceed from
there.
I don't know if they're goingto want me to, like, call the
police department and file areport.
Maybe, I don't know, who knows,we'll figure it out.
Actually, wait, wait,tomorrow's set.
I might be able to call themtomorrow because I think they
they have.
They have people standing by onSaturdays.
So, yeah, take care of ittomorrow.
You're gonna get it bud anyway.
(22:39):
Uh, all right.
So look what's coming up.
Well, the reason.
Okay, I don't know if you guysoh, you guys at home on TikTok,
you didn't see this, but tonightwe are going to do, and nobody
has called in yet, so we aregoing to do.
Where'd it go?
Ah, there, it is Right at thebottom of the screen.
(23:03):
Here you can see the crawl, orthe scroll, and what does it say
?
It says the revenge tour.
Now, for all you new peopleyou're not going to know, for
all the folks that have beenaround for at least a year, if
you remember, what month are wein?
We're in April right now.
(23:24):
What is next week?
What is on?
What is that like?
April 20th, easter Sunday.
Okay, last year I celebratedEaster Sunday with you all,
right here, live in the studio,by doing a peep pack.
(23:45):
Now, what's a peep pack?
Where's my stuff here?
Ah, there's my stuff.
There's my stuff.
If my daughter, tess, is stillwatching, she knows what a peep
pack is.
If my kids, if any of my kids,are watching, they know what a
peep pack is.
If my grandkids are watching,they know what a peep pack is.
(24:06):
And it's peep pack.
Okay, two words peep pack.
So you guys know these, right,you know these, all the peeps,
and you know the littlemarshmallow.
There's the little marshmallowchicks and then there's the
marshmallow.
Now they have littlemarshmallow baby bunnies as well
(24:28):
, and they got like a thousanddifferent flavors.
Okay, maybe not a thousand, ahundred different flavors.
They're really cool.
They're really cool.
What I did last year is I triedto see how many of these little
baby bunnies I could cram intomy pie hole without throwing up,
and I had to close my lips too.
(24:51):
Ok.
So of course, in celebration ofEaster Sunday, we are going to
have a peak Pack.
Now, easter is another weekfrom now, but Friday Night Live
isn't always every Friday night,it's just from, I'd say, every
once in a while or when workdoesn't afford me the
opportunity to write and preparea show.
(25:12):
Then we got to stream livebecause I got to get you your
dose of Ben Maynard every week.
So we're going to do the peatpack shortly.
But first, before we get intothat peat pack now, oh, you know
what?
Hi, hello, my beautiful wife.
(25:36):
Well, you can come in if you'dlike to.
I mean, I don't know if I'mready for you, but you can come
in.
Well, you don't have like hairto hold back or anything.
No, I don't have hair to holdback.
So if I am going to puke, youknow I won't.
You know, there is no hair tohold back.
Well, there's hair, but it'snot long.
Now, yeah, what happenedNothing.
Oh, now, yeah, what happenedNothing?
(25:58):
Oh, okay, I'm just readingcomments.
I know, hang on.
Hang on, though, so you knowwhat I didn't do.
Let me see if I can do thisreally quick.
You're all going to have tohang tough, okay, let me go back
.
I want to see if I documentedhow many peeps I actually got
into my pie hole.
I think it was only like Did wedo the chicks last year?
(26:21):
They were larger ones, so Ithink I did like chickens.
No, I think I did like nineJuly, july, june.
For those of you watching thisat home and thinking, what are
you doing, this is my show log,so let me see.
Let's play CPR.
(26:44):
I don't know, I don't know.
I'm not a DJ.
You should be, though, wait,wait, hold on April 19th that's
what everyone should be asking.
Yeah, well, I told them, yeah,oh, you did.
(27:04):
I told them that we've got thePeat Pack coming.
I mean not Peat Pack, but Itold them that we're playing.
Well, actually, you know what?
I didn't say Stomp the Chump.
I just said wait, you can'tturn that.
You can't turn that.
I didn't say we were playingStump the Chump.
I said we were doing the MaloreChallenge.
So Stump the Chump is.
(27:25):
If you come in here with musictrivia and you stump me, then
the same thing applies.
I've got to take a drink ofthis stuff here.
Wait, can I Wait?
Oh, okay, well, you're lookingfor that.
You said you need to build some.
Wait, I know, hold on what?
Oh See how full of it she is.
(27:45):
She's like oh, I put my face inhere.
Everybody's going to jump onboard.
I want them to stump him sothat way he has to drink.
Peep pack revisited because wedid.
Someone ask a question onTikTok.
You know what?
Stump him with a question,shoot, shoot.
I did not.
I didn't document how many peepsI crammed into my pile.
Jeff probably knows, but Ithink it was like because it was
(28:05):
the larger ones, it was thechicks, I think it was like
eight or nine.
All right, look.
All right.
You want me to scoot over?
Come on, get in right here soyou can get some face time.
Where are you going Now?
You got hair time, okay, yeah,now I'm too far away.
It's okay, that's all right.
(28:30):
Okay, I'm on YouTube.
Let me go back to my spot.
Yeah, okay, cool, all right, sowe're going to get into that
peat pack, but you know what?
First things first.
I'm going to get a littleserious here.
You can celebrate Easter Sundayhowever you want to.
You can have all your, your,your Easter egg hunts and Easter
baskets and all that kind ofstuff and pretty sundresses, and
you know all that, all thatgood stuff, and that's all great
(28:52):
.
Um, there's absolutely nothingwrong with that.
But, just like with Christmas,I don't want people to forget
what easter sunday is all about.
Um, you know, for my audience,you guys know, for the ones that
have been around for a while,we're, we're like, we're staunch
christians, we're hardcorechristians and, uh, and so the
(29:15):
two biggest, so the two biggestholidays within our faith, the
biggest celebrations areChristmas Day, with the birth of
our Savior Jesus Christ, and,of course, easter Sunday, when
after, with you know, on thethird day, christ rose from the
dead.
Ok, so that is like, that islike the staple and that's what
(29:40):
really our religion is based on.
So just don't forget that stuff.
Okay, don't forget that and goahead and celebrate Easter
Sunday any old way you want to,but just don't forget what it's
truly all about.
Okay, so with that, here we go.
(30:02):
I know I like sigh and I groanlike I'm going to hate this.
I'm going to love this, I'mgoing to love every minute of it
, all right, so let's open upthis pack right here, right
there, eight little little babybunnies, and then we will open
up the purple pack.
Also.
(30:22):
That's another eight littlebaby bunnies.
Now I can tell you this, that Iknow that my record this was
quiet.
This was a few years back.
Oh wait, yeah, you better holdthis bag over here, my love.
It doesn't encourage yourviewers to share your life.
Well, how do I I don't knowwhat that means Just tell them,
(30:44):
oh, okay, people out therewatching.
Tell your friends that I love.
No, share it.
Share it, oh, share it.
Share it.
However.
You do that, okay, share itwith, like, all your friends and
all your buddies, and thenwe'll have more people watching.
Okay, um, since there's like noone watching on YouTube, okay,
they just are right now.
Yeah, they were earlier, butnow they're gone.
They leave right before thegood stuff.
(31:06):
So my record on the little babybunnies is 15.
Now, that was, uh, that wasquite.
That was a few years ago.
I was a few years ago.
I was a little bit younger manthen, and so I don't know if I
(31:28):
could.
I don't know.
Maybe there was a little moreelasticity or maybe my mouth was
much larger then and as I getolder it's shrinking.
I don't know, who knows.
But we're going to get get thisstarted.
We have 16 to start.
I have an additional eightright behind here, so I don't
know, I don't think we're gonnaget to those, but I'm hoping
(31:50):
that and this is the one timewhere he is quiet and I get to
talk oh, yeah, well, okay.
But if you're gonna talk,you're going to talk off camera,
here to the tiktok audience,but to the youtube audience.
You'll be on camera.
So, okay, well, yeah.
So yeah, there you go.
Well, scoot it, scoot, scoot alittle closer.
Why don't I?
(32:10):
No, no, scoot free to get outof it.
I'm not.
No, I'm okay.
This is my show.
I'm never gonna be.
How many um peeps?
Okay, well, like I said, we'vegot.
Oh, no, not you.
I want everyone to guess.
Oh, take a guess, yeah, take aguess at how many peeps.
Let me see if we have anycomments.
I don't think we do.
No, we have no comments.
So, yeah, start guessing at howmany peeps that I'm going and
(32:44):
close my lips.
When I first did it I thoughteasy, and I think I got three.
So let's see, he's got a methodto his madness here.
Yeah, I'll see.
All right, here we go.
Okay, this is one, and it'sgood because there's so many in
a pack so you don't really haveto count.
And it's over.
It's pretty fast, it goes byfast.
Oh, we'll see about that.
Yeah, oh, he's still talking.
Okay, so that's three.
(33:06):
And see how he puts them in onthe side.
But it's more gross when theyall come out of his mouth.
What, oh, someone's guessing Onthe back.
Oh, oh, let's put it there.
(33:28):
Yeah, okay, so that is.
This is the sixth one one goingon.
Six, okay, come on, hit thelike button, tap your screen,

(35:20):
dying.
So no one's dumping you yetwith questions.
No, nobody's asking me anyquestions.
No.
Musical trivia no, and I'm notas good looking as you are, so
people aren't as interested inthat stuff.
You know that's horrible.
Music trivia is music trivia.
Hang on, that's terrible.
(35:42):
You know people, I'm sorry.

That was.
You know what.
You deserve so much more thanthat.
You deserve way better thanthat performance.
That was absolutely terribleperformance.
I don't know what to say.
(36:03):
I should be ashamed of myself.
I mean, when I end the showI'll probably walk out of here
hanging my head in shame.
Yeah, that was bad.
(36:23):
That was so bad I didn't evencome close.
You know, maybe it's like a,maybe it's like a.

That sucks.
Well, what can I say?
You know, if we go live nextFriday and I really won't know

peeps laying around the houseand, I don't know, we may have
to come back hardcore.
Maybe I'll have to startpracticing during the week.

$1.88 a pack or something.
