This weeks episode we are joined by NBC News Social Media Editor and our friend, Joey Scarborough. We originally planned on talking solely about punk music and Star Wars TLJ, but news of Matt Lauer's departure from NBC amid some horrendous allegations as well as the President's ongoing feud with Joey's family took our conversation elsewhere. We eventually discuss the merits of what makes the best Beatles song (Hywel's mum could enlighten us?). We also mention SW TLJ. On the note of creepy men, Hywel shares a Kevin Spacey anecdote.

Peter and Colter teach Hywel about the truths and myths behind America's favorite fall holiday. Hywel is sent on a mission to infiltrate East Nashville and find out what those kids are up to. What happens when a Welshman attempts the Cracker Barrel Trifecta?

Liz McEnaney, Executive Director of the SS Columbia Project and friend of our own Hywel John, answers our questions about a 100+ year old steamship that is bound for the Hudson river.

¡Sì, Basque! Hywel is joining us from far off Providence, not Coincidence, RI. We debate a lot of grammar surrounding cephalopods. Colter may be the genesis of several crypto-zoological mysteries. Peter works blue material in Norwegian. We definitely do not confess to publicly injuring people by speaking of "that play".

An important message from the Alabama State Congress circa 2008. Richard takes us on a journey through the boggy waters of NYC of yesteryear and the bayous of southern Louisiana. Hywel spins a yarn on seeing Prince. Pete gives us a lesson in craigslisting in Paris.

Hywel almost tells us about Welsh folk tales. Peter shares the tale of a “Slag” Wormwood. We define what building-y means. Lot’s of references with little extra information or research. Colter discusses 100 year old poisonings in a small town in Hungary.

Hywel teaches us the ancient tradition of herding dragons in the Welsh countryside of Pembrokeshire. A foreign diplomat returns from the dead. A crippling blow is dealt to Christopher Columbus near the shores of Lake Michigan. Update on Ophelia’s affect on the British isles. News out of the Alabama Senatorial race. Better audio. It’s free, anyway. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Ideas for a topic? General malaise and/or anger? [email protected]

An Intro. Sorry the audio is bad. It is free, though. Trust us, this is the beginning of something great!
