Tragically, on July 4, devastating flash floods along the Guadalupe River claimed the lives of campers and counselors. We want to honor those lost and extend our heartfelt condolences to all affected—may healing and peace find the families, first responders, and communities impacted by this heartbreaking event.

   A Christmas Hoagie (Shipwrecked at Sea or Dead)

   Merry Christmas from Billy and the BIT CREW The BIT elves worked overtime to deliver this BONUS Christmas day episode. Captains' Cove is a seaside town with a lighthouse and a shipwreck that is absolutely obsessed with sandwiches. As 2024 winds down and the residents prepare for the Annual Turkey Cutting Competition, love is in the air, and mayo is in their bags (IYKYK). Documentarian Winston Hartsdale is filming a historical documentary, SHIPWRECKED AT SEA...OR DEAD?, about the WW II shipwreck visible from the town's beachfront. The town, which is not interested in history, has other ideas for Harstdale's subject matter. As romance blooms between sandwich enthusiasts Hannah Hoy and Thad Justin, most of the town is focused on the upcoming competition. Thad is back in town after a long absence to investigate the new sandwich shop but keeps bumping into the lovely Hannah. Will he choose love or expose the town's scandal? Local soap shop owner April Sprinkles and her bestie May Flour take their job as contest judges very seriously. There are unconfirmed rumors that May lost her left pinky finger in a booby-trapped turkey in the 2021 competition. There are also rumors that these two have had mutual crushes since high school. Former cobblers Lucente and Guiseppe now serve hoagies and subs with mysterious (but tasty) ingredients. Their newly remodeled shop has attracted the attention of Thad and Jason Meatcutter, the Meat Code Enforcement Officer. You'll also meet Olive Sharpe, the town's official Mustard Supplier. She won her position in a previous competition and is a condiment curator with some interesting theories about mayo and mustard. The town ghost is likely that of Walter Hartsdale I, our documentarian's grandfather. His efforts to connect with his heir are frustrated by WH III's non-belief in ghosts. The lighthouse keeper is also a landscape painter who embellishes his works with murderous and cannibalistic elements. He does not like being upstaged by the brewing romance.

Tell them it's a Holiday present from Billy Merritt.
