This week at camp, we came face to face with something we feared... our parents meeting for the first time ever. We also rediscovered some love for the lost art of digestifs, and Zachariah shares what it’s really been like since he quit vaping. Then we hear a tale of an old woman in love with an astronaut, a server who rescued a raccoon mid-shift, ranted about overly complicated makeup tutorials, and aired out the absolute LOSERS who are adamant about keeping the shades on airplanes closed...

150 - Saké Super Soakers & Behaving Badly
This week at camp, we’re unpacking our trip to a bachelorette weekend in the Poconos. It was a getaway that came with a side of E. coli, and the cherry on top was a full-blown public bridal party screaming match. Somehow, the chaos segues (yes thats how you spell it i think...) into cars. A favorite mode of transportation here at camp! Jonathan’s questionable driving skills, our unsolicited TED Talk on roundabouts, and a Romeo and Juliet production performed entirely with trucks and construction vehicles. Yes, for realsies.This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.Get your tickets to see Zachariah Porter's new Live Comedy Tour!Want BONUS CONTENT? Join our PATREON!Sponsors:➜ Tear. Pour.

About Camp Counselors with Zachariah Porter and Jonathan Carson
Hey Happy Campers! Camp Counselors is a good natured podcast hosted by your favorite fake camp counselors Zachariah and Jonathan. Here at Camp Shady Birch we love the great outdoors in theory, but we’d rather spend our time making friendship bracelets, spreading camper gossip, keeping our heads in the clouds, and avoiding archery. We know we would make great camp counselors minus the fact that we know nothing about camping. So grab your sunscreen and bug spray because things are about to get campy.
