In this episode, Rex takes us through his mildly traumatic journey all the way from a drive from Del Mar to Los Angeles Airport to landing at Auckland Airport on Thursday. Rex and Youie then discuss what has happened since in our road trip right up to just before lunch on Sunday 15th of May. You’ll hear about Rex’s views of his appearance on live national show The Project on TV3 in New Zealand went down. You'll also hear Rex describe how the first three days have unfolded. You’ll get some insights into his views on food and wine consumed thus far into the trip and lots of other stuff that takes the conversation occasionally ‘sideways’.

You’ll hear talk about book clubs, both men and women only, campervans, book tours, winetasting, sheep, lamb, all the things you’d expect from a podcast recorded for the first time with Rex and Youie in the same room.
