    This week Gavin and Chris catch up with Glyn Roberts live on the Indian Ocean! As most of you know, Glyn is one quarter of the Monkey Fist Adventures crew, currently taking on the incredible Brain Waves Challenge, an unsupported 5,500-mile row across the Indian Ocean from Australia to Kenya. Glyn shares a fascinating insight into life at sea over 40 days in, the physical and mental challenges of rowing for weeks on end, and the team's plans to celebrate when they finally reach Kenya. Of course, it wouldn't be a major's mess hall episode without a few laughs, including the now legendary story of the crew losing not one but two toilet buckets. Plus Glyn shares his love for the UK's famous Percy Pig sweets. It's an inspiring, funny, and honest conversation about endurance, teamwork, and finding humor in the most remote place on Earth.
