Listen "Finish Line? Found It. Guinness? Still Missing"
Episode Synopsis
In this nostalgia-soaked fever dream of an episode, Robert and Ange rewind to the moment they—purely by accident—became marathoners in Dublin. Yes, Dublin, because nothing says “excellent life choices” like flying across an ocean to run 26.2 miles while jet-lagged, overwhelmed, and committed to a trip that felt like The Amazing Race meets EuroTrip meets a group vacation nobody fully signed up for.They relive the highs (the Irish were dangerously charming, the vibes were immaculate) and the lows (someone’s back staged a full walkout at mile 23). And of course, the ultimate betrayal: that promised Guinness on the course? Never happened. Not a drop. Not even a pity splash. Just electrolytes and crushed dreams.Meanwhile, Ange kept Scott running and dancing at the same time whenever music drifted through the streets—because why choose between marathoner and pop-star-on-tour when you can be both?Despite the chaos, the back pain, and the Guinness disappointment, the two of them powered through, crossed the finish line, and each grabbed a medal like absolute champions.And here’s the wholesome twist: the entire ridiculous, unhinged adventure actually made Robert and Ange even better friends.Tune in for laughter, chaos, questionable life choices, back pain, spontaneous dance breaks, and the warm glow of two friends who survived 26.2 miles—and somehow came out closer (and snarkier) than ever.For details on the Marathon Trip Planner, check out https://www.activeodysseys.com/
