What happens when you get two friends on the phone to just shoot the shit? You start with a bizarre story about an old bus driver and somehow end up in a deep philosophical debate about natural water physics and Earth King Bumi.
In our very first episode, Kiano and James share a raw, unscripted look at the human experience. We cover everything from the chaos of street crossings and mismatched car badges to the ancient wisdom of doing absolutely nothing.
