James and Shawn talk about how high elevation—or is it altitude?—effects various everyday things. Shawn is just getting over Covid (again), so being able to breathe seems more important to him than sometimes. We talk about how to bake cakes, how to hatch eggs, and how to climb mountains, all in high elevations.
