      • 7: Wolves and Lyme Disease

        Shawn and James talk about Lyme Disease. Do you know that wolves are responsible for the rise in cases of Lyme Disease on the eastern seaboard? We take a rambling trail to get to that fact, but also discuss a bit the number of cases and how they are happening.

        Thanks again for being a Patron. We appreciate you.

      • 6: Over the Mountain and Through the Woods

        James tells Shawn a story about harrowing experience he had biking from Harrisonburg, Virginia through Crozet to Free Union. 

        Some poor choices were made, but it ends up being a great story.

        Thank you to our Patrons! We're glad to have you.

      • 4: Do We Really Need Leaders? - LOL pre-release

        James and Shawn have Andrew Crider on the podcast again to talk about leadership.

        This is the bootleg version with all of our banter and other stuff that normally gets cut out of the main episode. We thought it may be fun for you to hear a bit of what goes on behind the scenes.

        *Note: There are no show notes on this version, but they will be on the edited episode. I may get them uploaded here a bit later, also.

        What makes water go clockwise or counter-clockwise down a sink drain? Or does that even happen?
