Maladies aside, in this episode we are joined by Tiberius to discuss his song suggestion: Alestorm's 1741 (The Battle of Cartagena). The song (and the album it's taken from ) are inspired by the Golden Age of Piracy.

Meds rejoice at the victory of the Spanish over their English attackers during the month long siege that ended with over 15,000 casualties on the British side alone. Americans bristle at the cruel treatment by their English overlords during the battle and we learn where George Washington's beloved Mt. Vernon gets its name.
