Let’s talk about our last trip to Portland and seeing the dragon boats on the Willamette.

That team we saw that day, is called Pink Phoenix and my team Survivor SAKE has raced against them many, many times… They are strong! They have a really annoying habit of winning… I have so much respect and admiration for them that I decided to invite them on our show to see if I can steal their secrets.
