S11 Episode 46 – Enchantemus

Three Dogs North

In this episode, the dogs talk about how hard it has been to find a time to record (0:50). Connor talks about a new supplement he’s taking for joint pain (2:28) and a recent fascination with Bob Ross’ mentor: Bill Alexander (5:45). They discuss the pursuit of excellence in different forms, from Michael Jordan (9:40) to The Passion of John the Baptist (14:20). Mike concludes that “a saint is someone who is passionate about the right thing” (25:19).
