EPISODE 74 // With Kate succumbed to illness, Jack and Hao once again try to cobble together enough content to make a cohesive, compelling episode of television I mean podcasts. In this episode we discuss the FIVE WAYS PEOPLE AGE, and it's mostly centered on the different parts of the body. What are all the parts? Well you'll have to tune in to find out. One of them is dirty lips. That one I can reveal right away. I've been authorized to reveal dirty lips right away.
