I've been hitting the gym, I think I could keep up, but the 24/7 job...I am not so sure. But it would be cool.

There is a link on the website that lets you find out when the program will be aired in your area. Our local PBS channel is replaying this show @ 5 AM this Friday. Time to fire up the digital recorder. Thanks for the heads up.
