## Resource

Sun’s out, chaos out. Chris kicks off a summer themed episode with a caller whose spring break spirals into a cruise disaster, a fake-dog scam, and an infamous purple mermaid bikini. Next, a family trip to Thailand turns into multiple near-death moments involving parasailing gone wrong and a brutal sunburn saga. Finally, the last caller recounts a wild night out that escalates from rooftop pregame to a very memorable encounter at the club. Hit play for the juicy details, unfiltered laughs, and a few cautionary tales you’ll be quoting all week. As always, the chaos doesn’t end there!
