Now, that team are around 50 nautical miles ahead of us, which, given the distance to go and

the effect of time two weeks, it's going to take, you know, being honest, it'll take

something going wrong with them for us to win.

Hey folks, a little bit different episode today. This is not a throwback Thursday episode. This is a brand new episode. And it comes from my other show without compromise. If you don't know, I've mentioned this a lot, but I work with athletic brewing, non-alcoholic craft beer, so we're obviously into crazy ideas.
