The fellas sit down with Jeremy Malman of Worth Motorcycles. Worth Motorcycle Company is a nonprofit organization that teaches at-risk youth the art of vintage motorcycle restoration. Worth Motorcycle Company's mission is to impart at-risk youth and marginalized young people with the various social and professional competencies to excel within the specialized field of vintage European motorcycle restoration. We do this not only via occupational training, but by promoting valuable, generalizable skill sets including effective decision making and conflict resolution as well.

This week the fellas talk about the greatest of American traditions, road trips! At the top we also discuss the shape of Chimney Rock on Lake Lure in North Carolina and the difference between the Aussie accent and the Kiwi. Hywel is Back! Peter tells us the tale of the first ever cross country road trip (it involves a bulldog named bud; it's a good story)

Songwriter and Podcast host Joe Pug (The Working Songwriter podcast) chats with the fellas about the process of songwriting, the difficulty of capturing peoples attention and the pros and cons of the paradigm shift in music. Colter informs Hywel of who Ryan Seacrest is. Peter asks Joe about dipping his pinky into Hywel bonds with Joe over playwriting.

Hywel is in Birmingham for a while for his project. Peter and Colter teach him about why Birmingham is called the Magic City and give him some Alabama and regional history. If you ever play a Southern or Alabama specific trivia game, this is a can't miss episode.

Marcus Tortorici (either tor-tor-ee-see or tor-tor-ee-chee) sits down with the fellas to talk about how he approaches the creative process. He also shares with us his Red Gatorade Theory, where everything that used to be cool becomes new again. http://www.marcustortorici.com/

The lads open up with a little chat about an upcoming Little Horse (Colter and Pete) at the Branded Saloon in BK on 4/5 and Brandy's (Peter's Wife) art installation at Columbia University on the same date. Hywel reports back on his visit to Buckingham Palace and his mom getting the nod. We talk about how a diseased deer community might affect the economy of Alabama, and then get into a discussion about hunting in general. http://www.conservationmagazine.org/2014/01/can-trophy-hunting-reconciled-conservation/

New intro music is debuted! We get to the bottom of why henry's first episode never aired (it still has a chance to). We clear the air on Henry's beef with Britain. We talk about pop-psychology culture.

Pete bails on the intro. The guys try to make tiny sounds. Other topics include: The status of Welshness in NYC Christopher Lee being a badass What is a folly? Hywel's mum meeting the Queen. Renaming Buckingham Palace, B'ham Palace. B'ham Palace sounds like a gentleman's club in Birmingham, AL, right? Give it a listen.
