Transcript excerpt
This is my friend Jake. Two years ago, he genuinely saved my life while we were in Peru better, but the thing is, I don't see him much anymore. See, Jake just does things. Like how he sold shoes at university, eventually earned enough to book a one way trip to Brazil, and best went for when he met a girl in Peru, chased after her for two months, finally asked her out, and then a year later quit his job and moved to Amsterdam. But even though we now have the English Channel between us, I wanted to make Jake something that we'd be able to do together. Every week, we both get a list of side quests with different difficulties and whoever can complete the most by the end of the week better one point. And by the time we see each other in May, whoever has the most points is crowned champion and gets this trophy. Because if there's one thing Jake's taught me, it's that life is way more fun when you just do things.
