Episode Overview

In this lively episode of the You Should Know Podcast, Peyton and Cam dive deep into personal stories, friendly banter, and hilarious debates—covering topics from heartbreaks and motivation, their touring adventures, and wild childhood birthday parties, to bodily functions and the quirks of their friend group. With characteristic openness and humor, they reflect on what genuinely motivates them (including Peyton's revelation about being cheated on), challenge each other's embarrassing habits, and share chaotic behind-the-scenes moments from both home and tour life.

Key Topics & Discussion Points

1. Post-Tour Life & The End of an Era

[04:14 – 05:39]

• Peyton and Cam reflect on concluding the domestic part of their tour, expecting to be sad but instead just ready to move on (“Not as sad as I thought it’d be.” – Peyton, 04:35).
• They poke fun at the emotional release after a busy run, referencing crying after previous tours, and joke about how grief for past pets (and perhaps never truly mourning) can bubble up at odd moments.

2. Instagram Bios, High School Nostalgia & "I Got Cheated On"

[06:13 – 08:15]

• Cam rants about adults still displaying high school accomplishments in their bios (“If you’re past 21, I don’t care when you graduated!” – Cam, 06:28).

• Peyton shares his story of being cheated on, only to find the new beau’s Instagram bio filled with outdated football highlights (“More mad at the choice of man than the action…” – Peyton, 07:41).

  “If you’re cheating on me, at least go up. If you’re cheating on me and moving up, that’s fine, but don't let it be some dude with huddle highlights.”
  – Peyton (07:11)

• Both agree that lingering too long on high school nostalgia is a bad look once you’re in college or older.

3. Heartbreak as Motivation: Debate & Philosophy

[08:15 – 13:24]

• A heated discussion arises: A friend uses ex’s TikToks as “motivation,” which Cam finds “cringy,” but Peyton strongly disagrees:

  "There’s no better motivation a man can get than heartbreak.”
  – Peyton (09:52)

• Peyton admits the entire podcast sprang from post-breakup fuel:

  "This whole podcast was built off the back of a bad heartbreak. None of this would happen if I didn’t see that video.”
  – Peyton (10:41)

• Cam counters, suggesting that having a child would be much more motivating, arguing the merits of heartbreak vs. fatherhood as life fuel.

4. Googling Yourself & Online Reputation

[15:00 – 17:00]

• Peyton reveals he regularly googles himself, prompting Cam to ask why. Peyton admits it’s partially to check his own publicity but also just curiosity.
• The duo laugh at the juxtaposition of finding Peyton’s grandma’s obituary next to a blurred nude, highlighting the absurdity of internet search results.
• Discussion veers to teachers demanding proof for funeral absences and whether that’s ethical.

5. Birthday Parties & Dressing Up: Childhood Flashbacks

[20:28 – 24:56]

• Peyton insists dressing up for themed birthday parties is normal for kids, Cam strongly disagrees (“I’m not the quarterback, it’s my birthday, not Peyton Manning’s!” – Cam, 21:48).

• The hilarious back-and-forth exposes their contrasting childhoods, from Peyton’s double Halloweens to Cam’s more understated celebrations.

  “If I ever have a kid, they’re dressing up!”
  – Peyton (24:56)

6. Tour Stories: Adventures in Nashville & Group Dynamic Conflicts

[32:30 – 40:54]

• Peyton recounts a night on Broadway in Nashville, where he wanted to jump on a party bus but Cam refused, “immediately ruining my mood.”
• Cam pushes back, explaining not every adventure is for him and calls out Peyton for sometimes opting out of group activities too.
• They banter about differences in handling free time, what constitutes a “vibe killer,” and how communication can break down on the road.

7. Popcorn From Hell: Spicy Food Challenge + Quiz

[47:08 – 55:40]

• Cam introduces three levels of absurdly spicy popcorn, coercing a reluctant Peyton into eating Carolina Reaper “World’s Hottest Popcorn” while answering a “Simple Knowledge Quiz for Teens.”

• The segment quickly devolves into chaos as Peyton’s mouth burns, and he desperately tries to recall trivia:

  “My lips are numb.”
  – Peyton (51:57)

• Memorable, slapstick moments ensue (“Don’t touch your face, bro!” – Cam, 55:42), with laughter and pain in equal measure.

8. Bizarre Bodily Function Questions & Shower Thoughts

[66:15 – 74:48]

• Peyton poses an off-the-wall question: “Why don’t we pee out of our butts and poop out the front?” launching a series of pseudo-scientific, tangential musings on digestion and anatomy.
• The pair riff about “pre-historic” laundry, weird things they’ve discovered about their own bodies, and random urine-related oddities.

9. Would You Rather: Slapping vs. Tooth Pain

[75:23 – 78:17]

• They debate a grim dilemma: would you rather experience a sharp tooth pain every time you drink water, or get randomly slapped in the face by a stranger daily?
• Cam immediately picks slapping (“I’ll take a slap from a random face.” – Cam, 76:37), while Peyton insists tooth pain is at least avoidable, and endlessly debates the feasibility.

10. K. Rob’s Social Quirks: Loudness, Speakerphone, Physical Contact

[81:51 – 90:36]

• Peyton and Cam air their grievances about K. Rob’s habits: speaking loudly, using speakerphone in public, becoming physically close with strangers (including retail workers and country stars).
• K. Rob justifies some behavior as “lineage,” but admits he’s a “close interactor.”
• Stories of K. Rob at Kane Brown’s house (“I touched somebody…that’s his move right there!” – Peyton, 86:59) illustrate real-life awkwardness and their ragtag crew dynamic.
