This leads to a discussion of media and other interests misrepresenting information or outright lying, from pandemic issues to vegan activists, and other health issues.

Vinnie mentions his philosophy of "Failure Quotient", and what it means to get back up after a failure. Vinnie shares how his building a kayak has been a life experience he appreciates--and it's way more than simply being an owner of a kayak.
