Motley Matters

In this episode, the boys chat about some of the more crazy news stories from the week, the state of their haircuts with no barbers opening until July, why in this day in age we can't seem to get a decent photo of a supposed UFO sighting? As well as looking at some of the more bizarre events you'll be missing due to the lockdown extension. They also take a trip down memory lane, recounting some of the best stories and adventures from their time travelling the likes of France, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. The Lockdown quiz is back again with the scores being tied at 1-1 and they round it out with a particularly 'piggy' motley mishap of the week. 

In this rollercoaster of an episode the boys discuss a busy week in the vineyard, shops re-opening and whether or not easing lockdown is the right thing to do. They also take a deeper look into the race riots that have been happening recently and debate whether it's a shame that the use of blackface in today's T.V is so offensive, is it all part of the so called "snowflake"generation where nothing can be taken with a pinch of salt? They debate the pressures of choosing a 'Social bubble' and on a completely different note, they also discuss where they would go if they could time travel and whether or not they'd want to see their future.  Ben talk's about his upcoming triathlon in support of the Black Lives Matter campaign, Josh is back as quiz master in this week's lockdown quiz and the boys round off the podcast with the 'Motley Mishap and highlights of the week'. Enjoy!

In this episode the boys chat about how Ben's feeling after completing his olympic triathlon in aid of the Black Lives Matter campaign. They talk about which NFL players would make it in rugby after a claim from one NFL player that he could "dominate rugby". We pick out 3 positive news stories to come out of the lockdown saga. 
In this weeks Motley Review we attempt to settle some household arguments, pineapple on pizza, fries in your milkshake, should chocolate be kept in the fridge or the cupboard, milk or cereal first and many more, it was a lot of fun recording this one! 
Ben's back as quizmaster for this week's lockdown quiz and the boys round out the podcast with this week's Motley Mishap and Highlight. Enjoy!

We’re back for a new season, this time with me (Ben) as the sole host. In this season we’re going to be focusing on talking to people with fascinating stories, people that inspire me and will definitely leave you with something to take away. There’s going to be plenty of funny stories, life lessons and much more. We’re also going to keep up to date with the antics of my team and family the Motley Cru here on the vineyard as we attempt to bring a dream to life.

In this episode Ben chats to Rob Kalisiak, founder of Wolds Wine Estate in the first live interview of the podcast. Rob has recently finished planting the vineyard culminating a fantastic story. After being made redundant, Rob and his wife Louise decided to go travelling, doing a lot of volunteering in South East Asia, landscaping for schools and re-forestation. It's here that their passion for the outdoors and a career using their own 2 hands to build something really started to blossom and so upon returning to the U.K when a nearby piece of land came up for sale, the opportunity was too good to miss. And so the came the conception of Wolds Wine Estate. It's been a whirlwind of a first few months, starting up a new business with twins on the way and all in the thick of the Covid-19 pandemic. We hear the challenges they've faced in the first few months, with late spring frosts and ant infestations alike as well as looking forward to the future of the Estate. This is a fantastic story and shows how perseverance through tough times can pay off in the most extraordinary ways... Enjoy!
