We are back after a little hiatus, though Sam was sick so Gabe is flying solo on this one. We meet friend of the show Kathy "Swi" Takarabe. We find about Swi growing up in the Midwest in a less than diverse area. Swi tells us about here college years and about moving out to Southern California to attend USC. While attending USC she met her future husband and it is a fun tale of their first date and how they got engaged. Swi also shares about here recent trip to Japan. Gabe asks Swi the Lower the Bar questions and we end the show with some improv fun.
