EPISODE 31: BIRTHAVERSITY

A wild display of differing palates as we take on three coffees and an imperial and celebrate the hatching of the Stoutcast founder, the wedding date of the wonderful couple who would become his in-laws, and flip cup. Sadly, you don’t get to hear Bob Moffitt, Matt Gauthier, Christina Gauthier, Mick O’Campo and Trace O’Campo run into each other with balloons. Classic birthaversity! CLICK HERE for the podcast!
