Getting picked on in gym class is no fun, and so is getting picked last for a team.

Bob and Jesse also play a joke and questions from listeners, which leads Jesse to sharing a recent journey he took in the footsteps of the apostle Paul.

Average Boy gets a birdie! No, he’s not golfing; he’s birdwatching with his grandfather. Of course, they are riding in a golf cart because that’s how you birdwatch in Texas. Speaking of Texas, they get attacked by Texas-sized mosquitos before actually seeing a goshawk! It’s a crazy adventure that ends with questions from listeners on how to get more into the Bible every day and whether a friend can be trusted with a secret.

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Banana. Banana who? Average Boy tells Jesse about his grandma’s amazing banana bread, which causes Jesse to share some banana-themed jokes.
