Sorry about some of the sound quality on this one. It gets better after the first 10 minutes. 

For the first time Jonny and Richard record a podcast in front of a live audience, in this case at the Morgan Experience Centre in Malvern Link. 

Topics covered in this episode include a new encounter with the OTOSOT man, being given things by a neighbour, the most naive thing you've ever said, being unable to wash a car at home, the Busfest event, 1990s bouncer-baiting trousers, the Acrimonious Rally, things hanging from rear view mirrors, exposed JDM oil coolers, throwing away cruise ships, having problems with a badger, the real reason for lane assist, and are Morgans road rage proof? Plus, a man who looks a bit like Jeff Bezos lifts a very heavy chair.
