It’s been a few weeks since Kim and Jim attempted a podcast, but they have a good excuse for the delay. It involves true love and a ferry that sometimes carries furries.

Kim and Jim destroy the myth of Starbucks Store #1, but ask that you be kind to strangers anyway. Why is Jim's garbage can so damn heavy? Angela Poe Russell may very well be superhuman.
