Ricky’s funniest summer episode yet. 🤦‍♂️ From why he refuses pool lifts (“like a ladle frying a noodle!”) to a legit hot-tub horror story, gators at the pool, beach struggles with prosthetics, and a refrigerator-derby (yes, really)… it’s pure chaos and Southern storytelling gold.

Stick around for: YMCA vs public pools, octopus foot nibbling (!), the time teen Ricky cut cable lines (then “fixed” them), getting out of a speeding ticket, and why he won’t accept free meals for “service.”

Tell us in the comments: your worst pool/hot-tub/beach story. We’ll read the best ones on one of the next episodes!
