In this monster episode the guys ponder the prickly subject of graded guitar examinations. This kicks off a theme of episodes discussing the history, variety, quirks, positives, negatives and the downright head scratching weird aspects of them.

Also in this episode you may discover the Tom Quayle emoji, an interesting discussion on the state of the album in 2019.
