Episode 630: Diss Bard

Episode notes

Howie brings the case against Mark. The two of them worked at rival summer camps. When the two camps came together for a sports festival at Howie’s camp, Howie was tasked with singing a “sit down song” to corral the campers. Mark’s campers sat down but Mark didn’t. Howie called Mark out in song, embarrassing him in front of everyone. They have since become friends, but they say this incident colors their relationship. Mark says he shouldn’t have been embarrassed by a fellow staff member. Howie says that he was simply helping Mark to lead by example. Who’s right? Who’s wrong?
