Trailer 1 | Laughter and Nostalgia

0:00 | 2:50

Remember the times when simple pleasures like scoring a Taco Bell feast for under five bucks brought us unparalleled joy? Those were the days, right? Well, get ready for a hearty dose of laughter and nostalgia as we journey through the twists and turns of life's road, with its bumpy tennis courts turned makeshift hockey rinks and the shared stories that bind us. Join us, your hosts with a 38-year-strong friendship, as we weave through the evolution of our lives, celebrating the milestones and the mishaps with equal affection.
This trailer isn't just a trip down memory lane; it's an exploration of the growth that comes from the journey itself. We're stripping away the facade of perfection and instead embracing the wonderfully imperfect ride that is life. From the laughter that bubbles up in recalling our rollerblading misadventures to the warmth of belonging in places we never thought we deserved, we invite you to find a bit of your story in ours. Tune in and join two lifelong friends who've navigated the highs, the lows, and everything in between, always finding that laughter truly is the best medicine.

And the tennis courts in the backyard ? Don't think luxury tennis courts .

Rhett and Justin 1:02

This is tennis courts . That might as well have been a prison court . No offense to my brothers and sisters who were in prison , but let's be real . When your net is a fence , you know like lines are drawn with chalk .

Rhett and Justin 1:14

It was definitely not luxurious , but at least smooth enough to rollerblade and we would come out there with our hockey gear and one day there are people out there playing hockey where they've taken the two courts but taking the half side , where you don't have a net in the way they set up goals , you're the only two on rollerblades . If I walk into that place , God's gonna distract me with lightning .

Rhett and Justin 1:40

I don't deserve to be in there and it's like no , this is the place for all of us to come , be together and be imperfect together .

Rhett and Justin 1:47

It's been life with each other for 38 years . It's been a journey , it's been a process . It hasn't been plastic , it hasn't been perfect , even when we thought that it was supposed to be . We've grown to the place where we've realized we're on a journey , and that journey is what is beautiful . It's not all . It is about the destination , but really it's more about the journey to the destination than it really is about trying to arrive at anything in this side of heaven .

Rhett and Justin 2:14

Every time I hear something like this , I think to myself God , I wish I would have known this 50 years ago . Yeah right , it's just all about knowing when we're changing from glory to glory .

Rhett and Justin 2:26

You're listening to two friends who have obviously done a lot of life together . Our hope is really just to help you the best we can with our story . Maybe you can relate Everybody needs a friend to where you can laugh . Laughter is good medicine . Yeah , it is so , Justin . How was your week ?
