Geoff is a great narrator. Every time he says “let’s go back” I’m hearing “Let’s take it BACK” from Boy bands in five minutes.

[@Hannah-vv7ru]

Yes.

[@marat5617]

Me too! Lol 😃 I was waitin' for him to remember that vid and be silly and throw his hands up lol

[@marat5617]

Geoff actually narrates stories on KZbin. Hes phenomenal!

Dang. That's a good connection

[@charisa.5913]

I love how in the beginning Geoff opened his bottle and didn't drink anything

[@GeoffCastellucci]

Easily distracted. 🤦‍♂️

[@ellicooper2323]

Eli, when you say from your perspective you were not acting weird, I pictured a very drunk person thinking he was hiding it well. Dying here.

[@Phantomick]

100 points to Geoff for the Doctor Who wibbly wobbly time whimsy reference!

[@volna3308]

Geoff, you’re talk so much 😂 I love it. Eli listening you peacefully and quietly…charming ❤ guys, you are THE BEST

[@auramohsen7589]

Me thinking about how is boring the quarantine. Geoff and Eli start a live talking about true stories of VP Me thinking that quarantine now is beautifull.

Loved the pic of Earl sleeping on the stage, haha. Also, loved the comment by Geoff about him and Tim being the same person because of the fray stripe of hair.

[@caljones]

Eli’s reaction to it amused me also

[@kaejuka6249]

the fact that Eli speaks japanese makes me happy

[@gracenewsom4694]

And you know, it probably made it a bit easier to do the BTS parts in their Boy Bands in 5 Minutes video.

[@kaejuka6249]

@@gracenewsom4694 um... BTS is Korean not japanese

[@gracenewsom4694]

@@kaejuka6249 I know, but I'm just saying, knowing another language like that might've made it easier.

[@kaejuka6249]

@@gracenewsom4694 fair enough. Korean and japanese have similar pronunciations so it probably helped when pronouncing it

Aaron Hale I’m nine months late, but yeah, knowing a tonal language gives you at least a little help in learning others 😂

[@ellicooper2323]

When my hair started going gray when I was about 50, I also had the same white streak. People kept asking if I dyed it that way. Nope, natural, now it’s blended all in.

[@VelkanAngels]

Wow, 50? I'm 34 and started getting white hairs at 29, lol. It's not obvious though, as they're random, singular hairs in-between all the rest... and I have a loooooot of hair for them to hide in. Would look so cool with a stripe. Usually only men seem to grey/whiten in patterns like that.

[@user-fo4jm5wi8u]

So Eli is a Florida man... this story makes so much more sense now

[@GeoffCastellucci]

🤣

[@Marcell0Bass]

😂😂

[@nicholasw.3488]

This is comment gold here Edit two months later: Oh hi Geoff (and Marcello), didn't see you there!

[@Rabbitrails315]

Eli's Japanese is not bad. He did it very well.

[@cwonderland6259]

We thought my grandma was showing signs of dementia, but it turned out she was waking up in the middle of the night and taking an extra ambien before going back to bed. It took us MONTHS to realize that she was popping morning ambien and then acting loopy all day! Eli, I have the same allergy issues, especially traveling, and it's awful.

[@Katie-mb8zj]

As the story was going on, I was so worried that Eli was going to say he passed out or blacked out during the workshop. So glad everything worked out ok, and you’re all able to laugh about it now.

[@suzyharthcock7913]

Road stories are often good for laughs, Eli you poor baby...love you guys❣

[@Juilene1965]

OMG!!! Geoff pulled a Doctor Who! Wibbly wobbly timey wimey! LOL!!!

[@mycats7321]

This was a fun story. I'm glad Eli was OK & that everyone was cool about the situation. I would love to see more of these. I'm interested in the AGT story as well as any other stories you may have.

[@ishaannair7928]

We most definitely need more of this Makes us feel... more connected, I guess, to someone we idolize :D

[@lizwildcatmunro2460]

I really enjoyed this and I hope they’ll be more please and the intro is incredible. I absolutely LOVE Eli at the start with the not wearing pants comment and Geoff’s shower comment, totally relatable with lockdown

[@katybechnikova2821]

Did I hear wibbly wobbly timey wimey? WTF? Could Voiceplay be more perfect? I can't. Like. What. You're my favourite thing in the universe right now.

[@tissaadia7329]

Eli's problems seem so relatable to me. Allergy, sinus problem (esp on planes... So annoying!), light sleeper... I also wear glasses (and sometimes HATE wearing them, but I hate contacts even more, lol). Dear Eli, are you me? 😂😂😂

[@katrinakhalatians2776]

Definetely need more of True VoicePlay Stories love everything you guys do lots of love stay safe VoicePlay

[@marat5617]

Oh wow! Praise God that it was only an Ambien and not an illness! Please, if y'all can, make more True Story streams. This was great! I was havin' a rough day, but seein' y'all smile, hearin' y'all laugh and "spendin' time" with us all, made me feel better. Prayers sent for y'all and your families 🙏💚🙏 Much love! #VoiceplayLove #BlessYawlsHearts #MusicIsLife

[@madameevycat]

18:03 - 18:13 Geoff: We've established that Eli has both Zyrtec and Ambien with him. Me: **It's going down, we're yelling timber**

[@gracenewsom4694]

I really hope y'all do more of these True VoicePlay Stories, because they're so funny and interesting, and it's neat to know the kind of stuff that happens to you guys. And I know Eli must've felt horrible about the whole thing at the time, but I would honestly have loved to see that. Also, I'm so excited for the new Aca Top 10! Movie Themes, wow, that should be interesting! Wonder what they'll all be... (PS: I loved Eli's little ad-libbed singing bit at the end.)

[@DravenGal]

This was SO cool! And omigosh! SQUEEEE moment! Geoff making a Doctor Who reference just made my year!!! Who's your Doctor, Geoff? Mine's 10, though I have fondness for them all!

This was brilliant! Please do share more of your true voiceplay stories! Poor Eli, I can't imagine how confused and kinda guilty/silly he felt! And the rest of the guys must have been SO confused! Glad everything turned out safely!

[@AirellSkye]

As someone who has been on ambien before, I know 100% what Eli is talking about. It can be really scary. People have driven in that state and not remembered it. I stopped taking it, it's a scary drug and works more potently on certain people (me). I remember being told by my brother and friends about this (they were having a get together). It was late at night. I was probably 14, my brother was 19 (they had guy nights back then) I had taken my ambien and went to bed around midnight. I have insomnia horribly and took my meds (ambien included). I was told the next day that I walked outside naked, right in front of the guys in the living room. My brother tried talking to to me and asked if I was ok. I didn't respond. I unlocked the front door and went outside, stayed out for a few minutes then went back to my room. The 1 and only time I slept walked I walked in front of a group of gorgeous guys buck naked. I was so embarrassed at the time, now it's something I laugh at. My brother myself and his friends are close and we still joke about it to this day.

[@JaimeDornanLady]

I loved this! I’d love to hear more stories from you guys!

[@niad5162]

My comment is at 30:35 😂 I'm so glad I made Eli laugh. I think the answer is that I hang around dudes a lot

[@amandataylor6584]

My favorite videos from Voice play is Boybands in five minutes And Valhalla Calling me.

[@musikavatarethan]

“What’s up brotha!” TOOK ME OUT💀💀💀💀💀

[@joshuadefriese1907]

Okay, this is awesome, you guys. True story, I was flying to Israel with my family. I’m a big guy, and I was only 14 at the time, but I was already 6’3”. International flights are not kind to men my size, and I knew I’d have trouble sleeping. My dad gave me an ambien that he had (I was 14 and had NEVER had one before) and just said “this’ll help you sleep on the flight.” I fell asleep listening to some music, and the next four hours were a blurry nightmare of sorts. I dreamt that I was riding the zebra leader of a pack of zebras in the Serengeti, and that was insane. I woke up after about 4 hours with a puddle of drool on my shirt and blurry eyesight. It was truly insane haha. Your ambien/travel story brought back that funny memory of my own!

[@jessicahedman3048]

Thank you for an entertaining story- would love to view more True Voiceplay Stories in the future!

[@elizabethjmiller8329]

Poor Eli. But, this IS kinda funny.

[@ltlove63]

😂😂😂😂😂 I can relate 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ i told my doctor that this stuff is REALLY fun BUT I don’t sleep 😬 my kids found me at 2am vacuuming on the back patio 🤷🏻‍♀️🤔🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ there’s more stories. Dr said OH NO it’s not the medicine ..... Then all this stuff started coming out about people sleep walking with it.

14:30 Eli ascends

[@bethcoussou]

I love this and would love to see more! I know y’all and Home Free were on Season 4 of the Sing Off which ended in December 2013! That’s crazy that those mishaps with those 2 pills look so similar. I thought it was funny that someone asked you, Geoff, why you and Tim are greying in the same spot. I couldn’t help notice that in the recent video. Eli, if I wake up, it’s hard for me to go back to sleep. I love your voices and talent!

[@facetankhank]

What do you mean "if we do this again" ? You mean WHEN, right ?

[@lesfibresfantastiques7265]

We need another true storie episode!

[@volna3308]

Every time I’m listening Geoff, I’m smiling like an idiot (I feel I am), like kung fu panda with needles in his body. How, HOW the man can be so perfect?! I wish I should be his microphone, to hear his every word so closely… So, who know about clone science? Can we do this already, huh?!

[@AadenKDragon]

oh my god his voice really is that deep *swoons*

[@Hannah-vv7ru]

Thank you so much for this! Please do one about Layne next!

[@galahad692000]

If you need to save space again, Eli, break the Ambien in half before you put it in the bottle.

[@brendasmith7879]

Lol been there. Was to drive a few theatre kids to practice and figured out I took my sleeping pill. So glad I realized before driving. Lol

[@kd5nrh]

Geoff pretending he can go a day without multiple showers is amusing. Dude's clearly got at least a three gallon a day Pantene habit.

[@sabiralangevin]

Oh my god I have to keep pausing the video because I’m laughing so hard, this is an amazingly good story 😂😂 I would love more True Voiceplay Stories!

[@SleepyKayza223]

AHHHHH I really hope they make another one of these

[@sharonhoerr6523]

That is so cool that they share with high school students!

[@TheElkMaidenn]

I cant be the only person that keeps watching this and hoping for more haha

[@susanlafontant7882]

I’ve heard this story before, but it never gets old!

[@susanlafontant7882]

I also took Ambien for over a decade, so I understand how you were feeling and why your memory isn’t so great. I was on 12.5mg extended release every night for YEARS. Getting off them was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.

[@oliverschegg2943]

we really need more of these

[@CajunPandaBear]

Ah! Perpetual allergies, issues with even the slightest bit of altitude... Sounds an awful lot like Louisiana.... oh, wait! 😆 Good times on the Gulf Coast. I feel ya man

[@cosettelewallen4281]

Sounds like a lucky accident for Eli, he wasn’t sleep deprived at all like the rest of you must have been....but then he kinda earned it for once because it sounds like he had the most trouble of anyone else in the group at falling asleep and staying asleep during tour. Glad you’re still alive Eli!

[@juliepoganski7159]

I will watch as many of these as you are willing to do.

[@sherrismith8337]

I've done something similar. I've accidentally grabbed the Advil PM bottle instead of just normal Advil when I had a headache.

[@wch3515]

When eli said he haven't wear pants for a long time I thought he wear dress during the lock down lol 😂

[@afriorgaming7065]

At the beginning my thought was... does that mean that Geoff is also 'comfortable'?! lol I wish they'd been around to do tours when I was still in school! Our 2 choirs and one jazz group would have LOVED them. But they weren't even 42Five at that point sadly. Our jazz group actually rehearsed at 730AM M-F before normal classes would start.

[@knptwo99]

I always find stories like this funny, cause the same thing happened to my mom when I was like 12 or 13, and I have six or seven files stored safely on a flash drive of transcripts from her dreams. One of them included talking caterpillars, evil pumpkins in the shed, “them”, and panthers in the house.

[@mikeyesteban4484]

Enjoying this much to start the day is GREAT. Thanks guys.
