    Episode 36 (Jackless)

    Episode 36 (Jackless)
    Sadly, Jack had to sit this episode out but we wanted to make sure we released an episode this week. Luckily Robert was able to invite two friends (Jason and Josh) to chat with him about his walk. This is more a Q and A podcast rather than an episode that will further the story. But Jason asks some questions that he's been dying to have answered. Oh, and everyone is drinking so don't worry about the slurring and random noises.
