Cancun was our favorite, with its crystal-clear waters and a snorkeling spot—though hilariously, one of us has no memory of ever snorkeling there. That foggy recall becomes a running joke as we trade stories, from our dad’s laminated road trip maps to the time he accidentally drank maple syrup, thinking it was whiskey. Piecing together these decades-old memories felt like solving a puzzle, reminding us how fortunate we were to travel cross country in America—and how those adventures left us with stories up to recent years we’re still laughing about today.

What if one of us murder someone? Would we rat her out or protect her? 2. What if we get stranded on an island, what would we do? 2. What if you're hosting a birthday party for a friend for 20 people, how do you go about it? 3. What if you're suddenly awarded a large sum of money, what would you do? 4. What if you had a superpower, what would it be and why? 5. If we're surrounded by zombies, who would be killed first? We discuss the logistics or possible consequences, all while keeping the tone light and fun. As you may have guessed, it is for your entertainment only. No expectations! Thanks for listening!
