Scott and Jenn dive into a whirlwind of adventure as they chat about Jenn's trip to Alaska, where she got to explore some seriously cool historical spots. First up, she visited the Captain James Cook Statue in Anchorage, learning about the man who helped map Alaska and how the city got its name—spoiler alert, it has his name written all over it! Then, she took a moment to pay her respects at the grave of Kermit Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt's son, which has its own intriguing backstory. With tales of glaciers, moose sightings, and the stunning Alaskan wilderness, Jenn paints a vivid picture of her travels while Scott throws in his usual witty banter. So grab a cozy drink and join us for a history-filled chat that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening!
