I've been talking about this episode for about six months. There is a long list of reasons why this has taken so long to release, but I'll save you from my excuses.

When he's not watching his multi-screen setup in his home office, he co-owns the Salty Turtle Beer Company in Surf City, NC. Zack tells us about his journey as a gambler, his journey as a brewery owner, and how those two journeys coexist today.
