Okay… are you a “watch-the-storm-from-the-porch” person or a “hide-in-the-hallway” person? 😅

Today on Real Talk, Kandi and Garrett dive into the scariest storm situations they’ve ever lived through — the kind that make your heart race and your palms sweat. And in true Real Talk fashion… they also discover they are definitely not scientists 😂 which leads to another classic Garrett comment and a moment of silent laughing so hard they can’t even talk, that takes the whole episode sideways in the best way.

Now we want to hear from YOU:
What’s your scariest storm story?
