Episode Synopsis

1/13/20 On today's episode we welcomed WILSON High School and Cal State Long Beach alum, FCA area representative and world champion paper airplane distance thrower Jake Hardy. After getting a litany of mistakes by the hosts out of the way (Jacob now for sure knows where Jake H. went to high school...), we were all able to share about our weekends in relative detail. Summary: Go see "1917", don't throw footballs in crowded areas, and be on the look out for a local wiffle ball game (0:00-27:40). From there conversation got really sporadic: board games, bowling, and Polish ping pong (27:40-45:50). Once we finally got focused on Jake H., he told us about his family before laying out his work history in the Angels' and Chargers' organizations and transitioning into his current position with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, with some fun behind-the-scenes stories along the way (45:50-1:14:00). Jake had to leave for work, so Jacob and Jake H. were left to their own devices. After some stories about driving (1:14:00-1:27:00). The majority of the rest of the episode was Jake H. giving a full-detail recounting of his adventure traveling to Austria last May and competing in Red Bull's Paper Wings World Finals, earning the distinction of longest airplane thrower in the world. Yeah. You'll want to give that story a listen. (1:27:00-2:03:55). We ended with a short preview of the NCAA Football Championship Game between Clemson and LSU (2:03:55-2:10:10).

It skewed long again, but it's worth it for the final story! Check it out and share it!
