This week at camp, we’re recapping our wild tour stops through Nashville, Kansas City, and Chicago. Yes, a honky-tonk woman in an arm sling was hitting on us at the Nashville Dolly Parton rooftop bar. Then we cover the riveting story of a man who spent months convincing Costco to give him their iconic $1.50 hot dog sign, and the Vatican finally returning Indigenous artifacts to Canada. Naturally we spiral into a series of passionate rants about everything from being forced to “pre-save” albums that aren’t even out yet and sandwich shops drowning their food in mayo. UGH! (though Jonathan approves of the mayo-forward recipes lol) We also yearn for the golden age of DVDs with alternate endings, confess our love for reading smut in public, and weigh in on Hayley Williams’ new album drop for Ego Death. Plus a little Zara Larsson appreciation to round things out.

In this mini episode we are reading more chaotic listener submitted stories! First up, a camper lets someone change the song... and accidentally uncovers her fiancé’s double life. Then, a hungover college girl runs over a cup of queso in a parking-garage. And finally, a middle-school leadership camp goes completely off the rails thanks to a mouthwash-chugging, money-stealing bunkmate. From cheating scandals to cheesy disasters to unhinged roommates, it’s another handful of Trail Mix you won’t want to miss.
