The episode features an interview with Christopher Mullins Jr., co-owner of McGillin's Olde Ale House, discussing the tavern's history and family ownership.

Host Richie Tevlin and Co-Host Evan Blum talk with Christopher Mullins Jr., co-owner of McGillin's Olde Ale House, Philadelphia's oldest continuously operating tavern and one of the oldest in the United States.
