182 - RUDE: UFO Did NOT Probe Me! May 20, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of Camp Counselors, we are invading the world of alien abductions, UFO sightings, Goldie Hawn’s emotional alien encounter, and discuss what WE BELIEVE aliens actually look like. Naturally, this leads to Jersey Shore clips, Area 51 theories, and a VERY open invitation for aliens to come on the podcast with final edit approval. (If yall are reading this out there please email our team or respond via crop circle, whichever is easiest for you. We know you're busy.) Then, Counselor Jonathan covers the heart stopping news story of a CPR instructor who legit had a real-ass heart attack while teaching students how to respond to one. Plus a nationwide SCAM involving mysterious packages sent from a sketchy sender named Davve (with two Vs)... This story hits home because COUNSELOR ZACHARIAH has been selected to be SCAMMED! Can you believe?!
