Join us as we navigate the hilarity of our Friendsgiving 2024 edition of the Almost Brothers podcast, featuring our charismatic guests Rich, Liv, and Jamie.

It's an episode that's sure to leave you feeling warm and fuzzy with gratitude for both family and chosen family, all wrapped in a cozy blanket of humor.
But that's not all! Get ready to relive some nostalgic gaming moments, as we recount our return to PlayStation and the thrill of conquering "God of War" on the PS5.

The episode then shifts to lively debates on TV shows like "Outer Banks" versus "Vampire Diaries," all while sharing heartwarming updates on family and friendship.

Speaker 1Was that a hiccup? What was that? That little live hiccup my bad, just one, just a singular hiccup I had one right before we started, and then that was the second one.
Speaker 7I think it's microphones. I really think that's what it is.
Speaker 4I don't know. She does it every time. She sings too.
Speaker 3Just like a clearing of her chi or something that's her vocal warm-up, All right.
Speaker 1I'm good, I'm ready, got to make sure I hit those high notes. I mean, I'll tell you what. That's what it sounded like. It sounded like you stepped on a squirrel.
Speaker 2Leave the squirrel alone.
Speaker 1All right, Richie Rich.
Speaker 2Man, I don't even know where to start, really.
Speaker 3You start with me.
Speaker 2I'm not going to go ahead and start with Tyler. That's rude. No, I am thankful for our family, our extended family, bonus family, as Liv said, if you listen to the episodes that we've had this year, it's been a little rough for the Randall clan and me and my wife are in a really good place right now and I'm thankful for that. I'm thankful that we've moved back down here from the Jackson area, got us a house in Kennett, got the adoptions final with the kids. I'm thankful my best friend is back in town.
Speaker 1Come on, I haven't left. I've been here the whole time.

Speaker 1That is awesome.
Speaker 2Well, that's all we have for you today.
Speaker 3Michael.
Speaker 1I'm thankful for Jesus, obviously, and his grace and mercy and love.
Speaker 2Way to point out that we didn't say that K-Teacher's pet.
Speaker 1No.
Speaker 3How cliche comes from the pastor. I'm sorry you go ahead.
Speaker 1No, I am. I'm just thankful for for second chances at a lot of things and just the blessings that come from that and the friendships that came from that, and thankful for my wife and my kids and things like that. But I'm thankful for y'all. I'm thankful for this family, this extended family, and just what y'all mean to me and, more importantly, what y'all I'm thankful for. This family, this extended family, and just what y'all mean to me and, more importantly, what y'all mean to my kids. That's a huge deal. Our family is kind of a broken, scattered family and they don't have a lot of support and not a lot of us are close. So having y'all in their lives and your kids in their lives, and Tyler and Liv as their godparents means a whole lot.
Speaker 3You what I said.
Speaker 1I am the godfather. That's right. So that means a lot to me knowing that my kids have that support system.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's really cool to see us all at a ballgame for each other's things. It's like we show up in mass. Yeah, oh my gosh, I'm like dang other's things and it's like we show up in mass.
Speaker 3Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4They brought the cult with them.

Speaker 1We don't mess around. It was voluntary.
Speaker 7Yes, nobody was harmed in the making of this church.
Speaker 2The juice is great. You're all fine.
Speaker 1Come on now. But yeah, just thankful for things like that and everything else just kind of flows downhill from that, and thankful for our church that we've been blessed with.
Speaker 2Amen.

You don't remember that, no.
Speaker 5That was the funniest thing.
Speaker 4That sounds like something they would do.
Speaker 3And then we could just take it apart and make smaller paddles. And then they did. It was funny.
Speaker 2That must have been one of the garage scenes.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 5Right.
Speaker 1Okay, ty what you got. Got something you've been watching, listening to a show, a song, a movie, um been writing new songs that's about it.

Speaker 5Oh yeah, it is so awesome.
Speaker 1I mean, like when we were in the truck and Blaze just talked to me, I mean it was just it was the coolest thing, because you watch this kid you know from you know a couple years ago, right, and you're like, okay, he's not really talking, he's kind of quiet, you know, and for obvious reasons, and then to see him like now playing and growing and talking, it's just like that's so cool that you, that we were able to see that whole transition.
Speaker 2Just to clarify for our listeners blaze is our deaf son. Yes, so when we first got him he didn't have any hearing apparatus and now he's speaking in full sentences it's crazy.
Speaker 3he came up to me, looked, looked at my hat. He's like, hey, I got that on my shirt, wow.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's so cool and me and Jamie were looking at pictures the other day and it was one of me and Easton at a lock-in at Revive. Yeah, and he was so little.

Speaker 3Zaley attempts to have some kind of conversation. Where I don't even know how to respond to that. I shake my head.
Speaker 5I don't want to voice my disappointment.

Speaker 2I thought it was a done deal.
Speaker 4You're not eating them. Why would you care? That's not the point.
Speaker 2I want everybody else to be exposed, just saying.

Speaker 2Hill that he will ignore completely and not watch it's on the list.
Speaker 4That's the difficult thing, is trying to find something.
Speaker 3Brittany told me about the show, so I'm just going to put some One Tree Hill on.
Speaker 1I've got it on the list, though it's on the list.
Speaker 3That he skips buying press or clicks on One Tree Hill.
Speaker 1Oh, I've been re-watching SWAT again. Okay, does anybody watch like a reality TV?
Speaker 3I watched, like the first, I think, two seasons of Love is Blind on Netflix, okay.
Speaker 7It's hard to watch.
Speaker 3For me it's one of those I watch because of almost like how weird yeah, like what was it? Love is blind. So basically okay. So basically it's I don't know 10 men, 10 women or whatever, and they all, they go on these blind dates in these pods. For those who can't see, I'm air quoting.
Speaker 1Air quote button Air quote.
Speaker 3But basically they're getting to know each other in these rooms where they can't see each other over however many days, weeks or whatever, until someone starts asking hey, will you marry me?
Speaker 2Yeah, that's very dramatic they propose.
Speaker 3They say yes or no. They say yes, then they get to meet in person. That's weird.
Speaker 2You know what show I wish they'd bring back?
Speaker 1Rock of Love.
Speaker 2Flavor of Love.
Speaker 1Oh, I was close. Flavor of Love or Flavor of Flav?
Speaker 6Flav yeah boy.
Speaker 1That dude was off his rocker he was Well, they were all there for the publicity.
Speaker 2The money.
Speaker 1No, they really liked him.
Speaker 2Yes, that's why they were there. They liked him for his personality. His money had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 1Do you watch any reality TV or all just like regular shows? Jersey Shore.
Speaker 4I tried out Love is Blind, but I didn't really get into it. It's just weird to me.
Speaker 1Situation. He follows me on Twitter. He what he follows me on Twitter. He follows you. It's a random fact, Doesn't he, babe? I showed her one day hey situation From Jersey Shore.
Speaker 2I guess I don't know, Way to back him up there. Jamie Appreciate it. I showed her.

Speaker 3Get him he's got a.
Speaker 1He's got a heck of a testimony.
Speaker 3Is that right?
Speaker 1Oh yeah, just like where he's come from, and drug abuse and getting cleansed and sober that's awesome. Oh my God, dude, it's it's awesome, I know literally nothing about him.
Speaker 3Yeah, it is really really cool To see how he was when the show first came out and was popular. So, now they're doing the family vacation. So he's a completely different person.
Speaker 1He's like a public speaker who's like a positive. He goes to AA meetings and encourages people to get clean and get sober. It's so, it's so good. I mean he just completely transformed, not just his drug abuse, but like his entire, like the way he was, he was just this real big jerk and now he's like just an awesome, like well, you shouldn't get him on here, that's so good. I would like to hear about it. It's really really cool.
Speaker 3Yeah, the newer seat. I guess the newer Jersey Shore followed him as he was getting ready to go to prison. Yeah, for was it two years I?
Speaker 1think it was something like that. Yeah, it was a good, I think it was 18 months, something like that.
