Ana has never gone scuba diving nor has Cenk.  Ana went snorkeling for the 1st time but she got sick but the 2nd time she went snorkeling again she loved it.  When she went to Costa Rica, she and her friend crack a coconut and left it on the floor and a bunch of hermit crab came out of nowhere and the coconut was instantly gone.  Cenk went snorkeling, he found it pleasant, especially with his son. Cenk thinks waffles are so underrated.  Ana loves sweet and salty foods combined. Cenk isn’t a big fan of frats. In a black fraternity, they attend to brand the frat brothers.
