Highlights & Key Discussion Points

1. 365 Episodes – A Year of Podcasts

[00:00-03:00]

• Myles jokes about creating a "YBR in a year app" for binge-listening their entire back catalog.
• The group reflects humorously on all the things they could have done with the time spent podcasting, with Tyler noting, "Could have spent a lot of time with my child, but here we are.”

2. Tyler's Never-ending Airplane Horror Story

[03:18-17:02]

• Tyler recounts a disastrous travel day flying back from Florida with his family:
  • Multiple delays due to storms, rerouted flights, running out of fuel, being 15th in line to refuel in Houston, missed connections, airport chaos, and a burning sky train in Dallas.
  • Tyler and his dad frantically run through Dallas airport to catch the last flight home with three kids in tow.
  • Memorable quote:
    Tyler [12:31]: “We sat on the tarmac while they fixed the engine for another two and a half hours… Turns out, the engine delays were a little more serious than the lady at the desk made it seem.”
  • The ordeal lasted nearly 13 hours, involving hungry, tired children, and constant frustration.

Parenting & Airplane Survival

• The crew discusses the realities of traveling with small kids.
• Reflection on parental discipline and public judgment:
  • Myles [21:08]: “Having a kid in the airplane is about survival. It’s not about thriving.”

3. Segment: "No One Knows ____ Like I Do"

[29:33-39:14]

• The guys fill in the blank, humorously sharing life lessons learned the hard way (e.g., broken bones, avoidable accidents).

  • Myles: “No one knows how to avoid a pole with their car like I do—because I hit one.”
  • Tyler: “Nobody knows the kidney and the veins that go into it like I do—because I broke mine.”

• Hilarious struggle by Ryan to grasp the bit's format, leading to a group “riddle” reminiscent of the "I went to a party and brought…" game.

  • Ryan [38:43]: “Glory to God. That was a good one. God, that was a good one.”

4. Getting Roasted By Patrons

[40:53-59:27]

• The core of the episode: listeners submitted their best burns targeting each host.
  • Jared: Gets roasted for his “Jeep guy” persona and sandwich knowledge.
  • Ryan: Takes the brunt of the roasts, poking fun at his style, energy, and “frat bro” reputation.
    • Patron [41:00]: "Ryan is a 30-something frat dude. Always got an acronym, big bro mentality… could pass as a tweaker."
    • Patron: “The only research that Ryan does is 'my buddy said.'”
  • Myles: “Lost weight and is as annoying about it as those chicks that don’t shut up about CrossFit.”
  • Tyler: “Says he can survive an apocalypse but has never processed a deer and is afraid of cooking over open flame.”
• The roasts range from sharp to absurd, and the hosts rate, agree, or laugh them off.
• Discovery of some AI-generated roasts, with Myles admitting to using GPT to "roast the guys for his own enjoyment.”
  • Myles [56:48]: “Once in a while, just to feel better about myself, I’ll have GPT roast you guys. Sounds just like that.”

5. Weigh-in Segment & Fitness Talk

[60:05-62:39]

• Jared weighs in live to see if he’s lost weight since last episode (down 4 lbs!).
• Banter about the best way to burn calories (including “hyperventilating” and “drifting” through cold sleep—a wrestling term for overnight water weight loss).
• Admission that none of them are scientists when it comes to fitness, referencing back to earlier roasts about frequent misinformation.

6. Fun Facts, Bible and Midwest Trivia

[66:39–76:20]

• Jared shares a fun aviation fact: pilots supposedly eat different meals to avoid simultaneous food poisoning ([66:39])
  • Playful skepticism from the group about whether that’s ever enforced: “If you get food poisoning on a plane, just shit your pants and land the plane, guys.”
• Bible Trivia returns: Myles guesses the number of plagues in Exodus (“Seven?”), but the correct answer is ten.
• Catechism of the Catholic Church gets some Midwest “spark notes”-style definitions.
  • Myles [74:07]: “It’s like the Game of Thrones podcast where they talk about the episodes. That’s what the Catechism is for the Bible.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Myles [16:16]: “This is one of those scenarios that you’re just like, God, so great that didn’t happen to me.”
• Tyler [23:22]: “Instead of running to Gate B3, I could be getting stuffed and cuffed right now.”
• Jared [42:17]: “Some people would say Tyler is autistic, and those people would be doctors.”
• Patron to Myles [46:24]: “Without Charlie Barrons, Miles would still be working concrete…”
• Myles [58:39] (in response to a roast): “Don’t take them away. Don’t take them away.”
• Tyler [16:25]: Reflecting on the ordeal: “You got to spend seven hours with your kids. Seven hours.”

Tone & Style

True to You Betcha Radio tradition, the tone throughout is light-hearted and irreverent, blending Midwest humility, self-deprecation, and a brotherly sense of community.

For New Listeners

This episode perfectly encapsulates what makes You Betcha Radio the “most Midwest podcast on the planet”—good-natured ribbing, honest reflections, relatable stories of modern manhood, and the kind of humor that can only be forged in the tundra of North Dakota. Whether you’re in it for the laughs, the life advice, or just feeling a little less alone in the chaos of adulthood, this is a great episode to jump into the You Betcha universe.
