Get ready to cringe and chuckle as we recount the gut-churning youth group challenges of yore. Yes, we're talking about the milk chug gauntlet and the cinnamon spoon fiasco, not to mention the infamous saltine cracker test. As Scott elaborates on his bizarre fruit avoidance tactics – think bell pepper over banana – we can't help but advocate for the return of these wacky yet unforgettable tests of will. These stories aren't just about enduring goofy trials; they're a testament to the bonds and memories formed in the trenches of adolescence.

But our nostalgia trip doesn't end there. We're also musing over the peculiar allure of teak wood on battleship decks and the art of maintaining teak swim steps. Wonder why we're so fascinated by teak's resistance to water and mold? Tune in and discover why, despite the mild exasperation of our families, we can't stop talking about it. This episode is a mishmash of history, humor, and the kind of friendship that can only come from shared experiences—like obsessing over a certain hardwood. So grab your oil and a sense of adventure, and join us for a good old-fashioned walk down memory lane with a side of teak trivia.
