72 – Lake Cow Bacon – 3 Dudes and Some Hippos


December 13, 2022

About the Episode

Every great adventurer has 3 things: a mission, the grit to get it done, and a rivalry with someone who likes blowing up bridges.

In Episode 72, Sierra tells the tale of an adventurer, his arch nemesis, and a plot to bring them together to solve a meat scandal. Join us as we calculate the speed of carnival rides, chat about Colin’s targeted ads, and discuss how to ship a hippopotamus.
