Hey folks, welcome to the Adventure Sports Podcast.

I'm your host, Mason.

You're going to notice we didn't have an episode last week that was a revisited episode,

and that's because me and my whole family are sick, and we were all in bed by like 8.30 all week long. I tried to stay up

kind of his jam. Well, when we learned about the, when he learned about the Northwest Passage,
