Summary

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... LOVE YAS!

This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.
