Jeremy and Penny are back from Guatemala with stories and recap of their great trip! Before we get into that, we're discussing Usher at the Super Bowl, travel horror stories, and who would we llike to see perform at The Sphere in Las Vegas.

The crew is back after a bit of a break.  It's a grab bag of topics as we're (of course) discussing show favorites Taylor Swift, Hootie, the Hulkster, plus Celine Dion, Chuck E Cheese, who on staff should go on Family Feud, our legacies, Toby Keith, the Grammys, the Super Bowl, and the sermon on the mount!

We're coming in hot in 2024 with our plan to become a Taylor Swift-based podcast.  What are our resolutions for the new year? Hulk Hogan, Kat Von D, Shia LaBeouf all got baptized.  Are there actually qualifications to being a pastor?  And is it okay to pray for trivial things?
