You’ll notice the repetition of a prior episode title, but there’s just cause for this repetition, and it’s just cause I want to.

Dad gales and regales me with stories from his past, doing us all a favour and shutting down NCAD for 11 days and adventures in haunted houses over in Dallas.

After father and son’ing our way through Sonic Seconds, Second Best and Word On The Street we get to Acoustic Corner and Dad whips out his classic, 16 Tonnes.

My mother elects to make a cameo appearance to set the record straight and recommends we listen to the national anthem so we can wrap up. This episode is a family affair that could've gone worse.
