Today’s story comes from human treasure chest Ben Roy. Ben is a standup comedian, podcaster, actor, and musician who’s probably best known for his role as Billy Shoemaker on the television show “Those Who Can’t” on HBO Max. Ben told this cathartic story about summer camp in front of outdoor audience, in the parking lot of Buntport Theater, just last week—the theme of the evening was “Countdown.”

Special thanks to Ben’s band SPELLS for today’s outro music!
