Jason & Chris catch up about challenges in their respective backyards before making an important announcement and gratefully reflecting on the last 31 episodes of The Recombobulator Lab.
Jason & Chris wrap Season 1 with internet pioneer and entrepreneur Pascal Finette. Pascal shares some history of his journey, beginning with his education in Cologne, starting his first company, and the Internet when the first web browsers were being developed.
