We created the perfect foot race, and it involves flip-flops, margaritas, and fun for the whole family. This might be our best idea yet. We learn why horses got domesticated and zebras didn't, and we also realize zebras are the reality tv personaliteis of the animal kingdom (in the worst way). We find out why octopuses are more similar to humans than we realized, except for how they might be aliens. Plus, we discuss a boy who was kidnapped that was released because he annoyed the hell out of his captors, and we stan.

| 0:04.0 | Hey, breakwater podcast, 77. |
| 0:08.4 | Welcome, everyone. |
| 0:11.3 | Six, seven. |
| 0:12.8 | Oh, man, I am ready for that to be done. |
