Izzy is home from sleep-away camp and collaborates with her dad on a cover of Michael and His Slipper Tree by the Equals (from 1969). Lou has been obsessed with the song since listening to his Equals greatest hits CD in their new/old mini-van, Silvie. Our thoughts are with the victims and families of the recent Texas floods, including the Camp Mystic campers.

 Live from the woods, it's the June Birthday-Shout-Out episode. Only one RAW Impressions fan (Duffy) requested a shout-out and Lou and Adelle could only think of one friend (Busy Philipps) with a June birthday.

Adelle and Lou are back from a trip to Wisconsin with turtles on their minds.
