June 1 2020 was supposed to be the day that The Royal Mail on Spencer would emerge after the Corona Virus lockdown, but instead Davydd and Travis were able to sit down and talk about Melbourne weather, [When isn't that a great topic for conversation?], which pubs don't look like reopening after the lockdown and how much it costs to ensure a pub. The Coolroom was always designed to be a peak behind the curtain of what it's really like to own a pub and work in hospitality and given today's events it seemed like a good time to record an episode. Sit back and find out the answer to the question "What part of the cool room is that, and what's it doing over there?"
