“There were eight guys sitting around the table, and then those two walk in and we are just buck-naked playing cards laughing with smiles on our faces like everything is like completely normal… it WAS the funniest thing! They were just like, “what the f*ck?” They full on had no idea what to do, dude! It was so good.”
– Reid Auger
In this episode, Ed and Reid talk about one of the all-time great welcome pranks pulled off at a Guys Fishing Weekend. They read through and discuss the writing piece “Naked Cards” and the value that this prank has given to the weekend over the years. The conversation explores some of the favorite traditions of GFW, including poker nights, drives up the mountain, and inside jokes. Lots of laughs and fun times in this one!
