Major's Mess Hall

In this episode, Gavin and Chris sit down with adventurer Lara Vafiadis, who took on the grueling challenge of rowing solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Lara shares her incredible journey, from the inspiration behind her voyage—a tribute to her late father—to the physical and mental challenges she faced while alone at sea for 98 days. She opens up about encounters with sharks, battling exhaustion, and the sheer determination it took to reach the finish line.

Join Gavin and Chris as they dive into Lara’s story, exploring what it takes to push beyond limits, embrace the unknown, and turn a personal mission into a global inspiration.

This week, Gavin, Chris, Tony, and Bertie are back with another chaotic yet highly sophisticated discussion (okay, maybe not that sophisticated).

Chris takes us on a thrilling adventure through Switzerland, where he may or may not have considered yodeling professionally.

Tony gives us the scoop on his new business, Siren—but before he can celebrate, Bertie presents him with a rather ambitious shopping list of exotic fruits and vegetables, expecting prompt delivery.

Meanwhile, Gavin dives into the mind-bending world of Severance and tries to figure out if Ben Stiller has finally broken his brain.

It’s a mix of travel, business, absurd grocery demands, and TV talk—so grab a snack (preferably something from Bertie’s list) and enjoy the ride!
