Roy Wood Jr. comes by Lobell House Productions to talk to Danny Lobell about the philosophy of Benjamin Franklin. The conversation ranges from discussions on how Roy climbed to fame and how he tries to draw after his sitcom "Sullivan and Sons" comes to an end some day. They discuss Birmingham, Alabama and what it was like growing up there as a black man in a place with a history of racism. They also talk about why people like to go visit spots from their favorite TV shows. Roy suggests amongst other things that the Capital of New Mexico be changed to Walter White's house. It's a fun one folks. Enjoy.
