💥 Warning: Absolute Chaos Ahead! 💥

Fam, we’ve been filming for three days straight—yes, THREE DAYS. At this point, our brains are fried, our sanity is questionable, and we thought, “Hey, let’s try something new!” Spoiler alert: It did NOT go as planned.

In this episode, we play Two Truths and a Lie (or at least, we attempt to). Ricky forgets his own stories, Roxanna exposes her clumsiness, and things spiral quickly into absolute nonsense. If you love unhinged laughter, ridiculous storytelling, and watching us completely lose our grip on reality, this episode is for you.

Would you want to see us do more games like this? Maybe with a little more organization next time? Maybe not after three days of filming? Let us know in the comments!

7:11 | Roxanna calls out a family trend of “seeing places” but never actually going.
12:07 | Roxanna’s clumsiness is exposed: Falling up stairs, cruise ship humiliation, and poolside disasters.
20:00 | Ricky makes the game worse: He forgets his own lie!
26:57 | “This is the most unhinged episode we’ve ever done.”
33:42 | Closing thoughts: Should we do this again? Maybe when we’re not sleep-deprived?

Y’all, get ready—this episode is all about Southern sayings, hilarious stories, and lessons in Southern charm! Ricky and Roxanna go head-to-head in a Southern Sayings Game, breaking down the meanings behind classic phrases like “Bless your heart,” “Madder than a wet hen,” and “Full as a tick.” Ever wondered why Southerners say, “Let me let you go” instead of just hanging up? Or what it really means when someone says “Well, butter my backside and call me a biscuit”?

Plus, Ricky shares a TMI family moment about his grandma “declaring” in the bathroom. The one Southern saying that secretly means someone is cussing you out. Ricky’s take on why tone and inflection make all the difference in Southern speech and why Texas is not considered the South (controversial take!)
