Summary

Recorded live at the Unleashed Conference in California, Sam is joined on stage by Cole and Isaiah for a wild collection of youth group stories that somehow get more unbelievable with every minute. From a youth leader who tried to reward his students with pizza only to become the victim of their prank, to summer camp challenges that definitely should not have existed, the guys react to stories involving dangerous activities, questionable leadership decisions, and youth group games that went way too far. But the most unforgettable moment comes from a late-night lock-in game of sardines that leads one student to unknowingly share a dark closet with someone who absolutely wasn’t supposed to be there. It’s chaotic, hilarious, and the kind of live episode where the audience reactions make the stories even better.
