Growing up with your best friend’s family has its perks – and its cringe‑worthy moments. In our latest Local Service Spotlight, Jack Wendt sits down with his lifelong buddy Carson Muench and Carson’s dad, Dr. Clint Muench, to relive the kind of stories that shape you into the person you are today. From skinny‑dipping wardrobe malfunctions at pool parties to bruised egos (and heads) on a sombrero tube ride in Aruba, this candid chat is as heartwarming as it is hilarious.

Jack explains how Clint became a surrogate dad over the years, providing guidance and humor through countless hiking trips, cornrow experiments, and more than a few stitches. Carson chimes in with his own favorite memories, proving that the adventures you share with friends are sometimes the ones that leave you both a little battered and a lot closer.

Have a watch, share a laugh, and maybe even call your best friend to reminisce about the times they saved your butt – or at least your swimsuit.
