The "Number 1 Fan" of HPT joins the team in studio! Along with him, the conversation also includes the "Number 1 Fan of Episode 2." These die-hard fans (also sons of James) embark on a 16+ hour road trip from Idaho to Spencer, IA. This episode wraps up with some reviews/quotes from our listeners.

James attempts to figure out his age in months (hint: he's "not a numbers guy"). Absolute silliness unfolds as the team discusses how one of James' children called him old. Eventually they bring it all back to focus on the ultimate destination.

Wow! This conversation is all over the map! Eventually, the boys rein it in and ponder creativity as a reflection of our Creator God (as we are made in His image). We've included some fun outtakes at the end as a bonus.
