Summary
This week, Sam is joined by Cole Clark and Isaiah Smallwood for a live episode filmed at Who Told You at Calvary Assembly of God in Demotte, Indiana, and it’s exactly as chaotic as you’d expect. The night is anchored by the unforgettable story of The Hungry Water Slide, where a routine youth camp activity takes a sudden, horrifying turn, setting the tone for an episode packed with near-misses, questionable decisions, and moments that probably should’ve ended someone’s youth ministry career. From youth events that go wildly off the rails, pranks with unintended consequences, and camp traditions that spiral out of control, to live-broadcast disasters and split-second decisions that still haunt leaders years later, this episode is a rapid-fire reminder of why youth group stories are never normal. Nothing is exaggerated, nothing is safe, and somehow everyone survived… mostly.
