Have you ever canoed down a babbling brook?

No, but I have cried at a Taco Bell.

Oh, same thing.

Listen up, campers.

It's time to buckle up, pitch a tent, and take a hike.

Because camp counselors is a variety show.

So prepare for a good old-fashioned kumbaya, weird news,

hot gossip, and scary stories around the campfire.

So spooky.

Is this podcast even about camping?

No, but it is camp.

This is camp counselors.

Hey, happy campers.

Welcome back to Camp Shady Birch.

It is week 154 here at Camp. And we have a little thought starter for you today.

A little recap on our nights. Sometimes you guys know this. Going out to eat is our favorite thing.

It's definitely my favorite thing. I love a meal that is not

And you agreed.

You have your cork watches on your stand at.

You're twirling by the door. Talking through the kitchen. Your handbag, your pocketbook. No, literally. So I was like, take me out to dinner. So we got in the car and we have literally no idea where to go. So we stumbled across this place that we'd only been to once before,

um, for, uh, like a birthday celebration thing and it was for lunch. Say her name. Um, well, not everything has to be about her, but yes. So we went there for Kira's birthday, um, for her lunch and I was like, we never go there for dinner. And it's like not like, it's not like out of the way for us.
