Changed the format a bit. If you are a follower or subscriber, you'll notice. If not, nevermind. Forget I said anything.
Comedian Drew Marks joins us for the first show out of hiatus. Worked with him on the Carnival Panorama. Did the Baja run. My favorite, as many of you know.

JeRome returns my friend. A seasoned pro. We talk a lot of health in this pod. Diet, exercise, supplements... it takes a healthy balance to maintain yourself during the 200+ shows and 40+ weeks of travel you put your body through over a 30+ year career. We cover a lot of it here.
