Robert steps up on his soap box with a mini rant about what makes a good story and presents this week's tale, which comes to you from Kendall Burdett, a writer, comedian, and native San Diegan who wears a suit well enough to convince officers of the law that he is an attorney. This story was recorded live on 10 November 2015 at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern in San Diego, California. The theme of the evening was "Bottled Up."

Our theme music is by our friend Whalehawk (aka the Grammy-nominated musician Jake Sanders).
