Summary

Text YGC to 64000 to get a FREE pocket pivot and their 10-pattern sprayer with the purchase of ANY size Copper Head hose. Message and data rates may apply.

Sam is joined by John Crist and Cole Clark for an episode that starts with a seemingly normal interaction that spirals into one of the most uncomfortable moments you could imagine—thanks to a “Tap to Pay” situation that goes completely off the rails. From there, the stories only get more chaotic: a youth leader’s hiding spot turns into a full-blown rescue mission, a harmless group text takes a wildly unexpected turn, and a van ride with a complete stranger leaves everyone questioning every decision that led them there. Add in a teaching illustration that gets way too real, a painfully awkward misunderstanding in front of an entire church, and a few moments that should’ve never required adult supervision, and you’ve got an episode that somehow keeps getting worse… and better… at the same time.
