LIVE from Denver!! Join us for a night with some of our favorite people! A series of stories around the theme "Ghosted", told by the friends we can't stop talking about. Some of the stories are all too relatable, and plenty are just plain wild. You will be hearing from some familiar names such as: Lydia, Haiden, Casey, Tyler (yes... THE Tyler), Lee (yes... again), Abby, Danny, Lottie, Jess, and Ashley. After hearing from the peanut gallery, Maia and Grant talk about the Ghost Armies of WWII and the truth of the Winchester Mystery House. Filmed and recorded in our friend's backyard.

From Oktoberfest chaos to military deception and modern-day ghosting, this episode takes you on an unexpected journey through history, relationships, and human behavior. We dive into the fascinating story of the Ghost Army, a top-secret World War II unit that used inflatable tanks, sound effects, and psychological tricks to deceive the enemy. But deception isn’t just a battlefield strategy—it happens in everyday life too. We explore the psychology of ghosting, why people suddenly disappear from relationships, and the emotional impact it leaves behind. And to lighten things up, we share some outrageous Oktoberfest adventures, from lost friends to unexpected cultural surprises. Whether you love history, human psychology, or just a good party story, this episode has something for you!
