***OTD 2022***

Michelle + Jeff joined Jay B. in the Canoecycle for a Giants game in MCCOVEY COVE!

We met a colorful cast of characters in the waters outside Oracle Park that day. LaMonte Wade, Jr., hit Splash Hit No. 97 feet away from us. It was a whole thing ...

Recordings we did on the water that day became Season 5's first podcast episode. Tomorrow, we'll post the final episode of the season, with Mini Bar's Erin Kehoe. Check this space for that.

And go to the link in our bio or your podcast app of choice to learn all about McCovey Cove.
