## Resource

Alex,&nbsp;John,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Nick&nbsp;are&nbsp;back&nbsp;and&nbsp;immediately&nbsp;get&nbsp;into&nbsp;Alex’s&nbsp;Alaska&nbsp;trip,&nbsp;breaking&nbsp;down&nbsp;everything&nbsp;from&nbsp;brutal&nbsp;diets&nbsp;to&nbsp;even&nbsp;more&nbsp;brutal&nbsp;bathroom&nbsp;consequences.&nbsp;What&nbsp;starts&nbsp;as&nbsp;a&nbsp;travel&nbsp;recap&nbsp;turns&nbsp;into&nbsp;a&nbsp;full&nbsp;dissection&nbsp;of&nbsp;strange&nbsp;bar&nbsp;culture,&nbsp;eerie&nbsp;parking&nbsp;lots,&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;unique&nbsp;chaos&nbsp;of&nbsp;performing&nbsp;comedy&nbsp;in&nbsp;Alaska. From&nbsp;glacier&nbsp;cruises&nbsp;and&nbsp;seasickness&nbsp;to&nbsp;bald&nbsp;eagles&nbsp;and&nbsp;questionable&nbsp;wildlife&nbsp;logic,&nbsp;the&nbsp;conversation&nbsp;drifts&nbsp;into&nbsp;the&nbsp;kind&nbsp;of&nbsp;territory&nbsp;only&nbsp;this&nbsp;podcast&nbsp;can&nbsp;reach.&nbsp;Along&nbsp;the&nbsp;way,&nbsp;they&nbsp;debate&nbsp;animal&nbsp;instincts,&nbsp;whether&nbsp;fish&nbsp;have&nbsp;feelings,&nbsp;and&nbsp;how&nbsp;quickly&nbsp;things&nbsp;can&nbsp;shift&nbsp;from&nbsp;normal&nbsp;to&nbsp;unsettling&nbsp;depending&nbsp;on&nbsp;where&nbsp;you&nbsp;are. They&nbsp;close&nbsp;things&nbsp;out&nbsp;bouncing&nbsp;between&nbsp;movies,&nbsp;museums,&nbsp;and&nbsp;the&nbsp;weird&nbsp;ways&nbsp;people&nbsp;behave,&nbsp;all&nbsp;tied&nbsp;together&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;slow,&nbsp;unpredictable&nbsp;rhythm&nbsp;that&nbsp;makes&nbsp;this&nbsp;show&nbsp;feel&nbsp;less&nbsp;like&nbsp;a&nbsp;podcast&nbsp;and&nbsp;more&nbsp;like&nbsp;something&nbsp;you&nbsp;accidentally&nbsp;wandered&nbsp;into.
