The Truth About Why French Canada Got Super Awkward
Grab your flannel shirts and Sun-In, because Mendy is taking us back to the summer of 1994 —where lifeguard shifts, band camp, and a French class trip turned into something unforgettable.
From roller skating to French disco to swooning over a dreamy Canadian tour guide, it was the kind of teenage adventure that felt like pure magic… until a late-night prank at the hotel tipped everything straight into awkward chaos.
What happened next left a busload of teenagers horrified, a tour guide disappointed, and Mendy mortified enough to cry all the way home.
This episode has it all: ’90s nostalgia, travel mishaps, high school crushes, and the kind of teenage mischief that only makes sense decades later when you can finally laugh about it.
🎧 Listen now to relive the awkward glory of the Summer of ’94.
