This episode kinda poured out of us.

Work’s been weird lately — not enough hours, new management, and some heavy tension that’s been hard to shake.

On top of that, Cap had a little trip to the hospital that left us all a bit rattled.

And meanwhile, we’re still grinding every day to keep the business going without completely burning out.

The one thing that’s felt steady in all of it? Cap and Douchy. Somehow, their relationship has been the calm in the storm.

We tried to take a break — classic StrawHatz holiday style. 12 pubs in one night (we’re still recovering), some salty air in Bray, and a few quiet moments to just exist.

This episode isn’t structured. It’s just us talking through the mess, the good bits, and everything in between.

Plug in, hang out with us — maybe you’ll feel a little less alone in the chaos.

Participants:

• Captain João
• First Mate The Douchy (Giada)
• George, aka David, the Bard of the StrawHatz Crew
• Chopper the Monster
