Grab your greasy quesadilla and your favorite headache cure—Grant and Maia are back post-election night, muddling through day-after chaos, crisis-level hangovers, and bar-crawl confessions (ever almost drown at six or get busted wrangling half-naked conference goers?). But things take a dark turn when a listener, “Willa” spills on her family’s ties to North Carolina’s Word of Faith Fellowship, complete with hidden satellite dishes, underground imprisonment, forced marriages, stolen passports, and child labor. Just when you need a palate-cleanser, Jaymes (aka “J”) reveals his stint running AV at the Museum of the Bible—powering QAnon-adjacent events, dodging propane-cannon mishaps, and spotting Marlboro flags over rural real estate. Then Sandy wins the ultimate game of hide-and-seek in a furnace nook, and AJ’s teenage lie shatters an aunt-for-life bond. It’s a wild mix of cringe-worthy moments, small-town horrors, and cult-level drama that proves once again: listener stories keep this show addictive—because sometimes reality is so much stranger (and funnier) than fiction.
