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.

    This week we're pulling back the curtain on the people who have lived closest to us... for better or for absolute worse. Counselor Jonathan shares his deeply messy tenure as a college RA, Counselor Zachariah spills the tea on the saga of his previous upstairs neighbors. Zachs got a review Din Tai Fung NYC, spiral into our obsession with terrible neighbor-themed shows, plus a very un-neighborly news article about a man who got arrested for sunbathing in his own backyard. Plus a paternity test that revealed TWO DIFFERENT fathers, Buffy being an ungrateful little brat, tick bite season, pear martinis, and a deep dive into who exactly is that baby cooing on Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody."This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.Want BONUS CONTENT?

    It's the one-year anniversary of Jonathan's hair transplant and he's celebrating in a Juicy Couture velour tracksuit and a bedazzled hat, because why the frick not? In this episode, we're having flashbacks to the great Mario Movie 4DX feud. OOopsie, did not mean to bring that back up... but we buried the hatchet (for now hehe). The we're getting into birding! It's like Pokemon Go irl, who knew? And crows?! Did yall know they can hold a grudge against a specific human for up to 17 years! Sounds like us! Then we go deep on "We Built This City" by Starship, one of the most hated songs in rock history that also hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, which sort of proves its own point. We also have a full Backseat Lovers / Kilby Girl deep dive, and the Everest Fraud Scheme thats actually nuts.This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.➜ Jonathan's 12 Month Hair Transplant Journey➜ Global Village Coffeehouse Video EssayWant BONUS CONTENT?

    176 - Controversial Mount Rushmore of Fast Food

    We're creating our Mount Rushmores this week and it's getting controversial. Well... for us. We ranked our top four fast food items, Counselor Zachariah's favorite places to just walk around, and then Counselor Jonathan built an Anti Mount Rushmore of his most hated fictional characters of all time. Some of you will agree, and some of you will be on the wrong side of Shady Birch history. Either way, leave a comment I guess. Then we've got an 80-year-old cafe owner who spent a month baking a 6,000-pound carrot cake for his birthday. The Philadelphia airport set a Guinness World Record by lining up 1,291 cheesesteaks between terminals (kind of a nightmare imo). We're also ranting about a dog that would not stop barking in a hotel room, having an anxiety attack at TJ Maxx, why fireflies are the greatest bug alive, and Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback deserves more love.

    175 - Hot Priest Caught Stealing From Walmart

    Hey our little April Fools! In this episode we have a cup of noodle betrayal that still hasn't been resolved, and ohhhh boy a lot more. A fisherman in Texas arrested for cheating in a bass fishing tournament. Meanwhile, the head priest of a historic Pittsburgh cathedral got caught stealing baseball cards from Walmart and allegedly may have been selling sacred church artifacts on eBay. That would totally make Jesus sad. We soft-pitch ourselves as a jingle writers, Jonathan explains why words that end in "sps" should be removed from the English language immediately, and dark mode. Naturally Zachariah loses his mind over people who can unexpectedly do the splits, and there's a full dispute about eating chips in bed after you've already brushed your teeth.This episode was mixed and edited by Kevin Betts.Want BONUS CONTENT?

Plus, the story of a treasure hunter who found millions in sunken gold and then sat in jail for a decade because he refused to say where the rest of it was.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

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.
