26 Kids Got Paddled—and That Was Just the Beginning | Southern Storytelling | Episode 178  
Podcast: Hayden Alabama Podcast
Published On: Thu Jul 16 2026
Description: One spark plug got 26 kids paddled—and somehow that was only the beginning. Jonathan and Jeremy join Phillip and Shane for bucking-horse chaos, school-bus fights, dangerous childhood bets, trucking mistakes, old-school discipline, and a heated gas-station snack bracket. Then the conversation turns to testimony, forgiveness, and the grace that gives people another chance.
