It's Too Late (Though We Really Did Try to Explain It)

In this marathon episode—did you know marathon actually refers to the legend Philippides?—Ken and Gabe tangent their way through the Late Maritime Woodland. By the time the balthazar—a large format bottle named, incidentally for one of the biblical magi, another word for “wise man” in the Anglo-Catholic tradition—of Courvoisier–which is a drink—was gone, the sun was rising and both of your intrepid hosts had gotten in over their heads discussing Japanese hunter-gatherers, too.
