In case the full version of this episode hurts your ears, here's a shorter version that will also hurt your ears.

DISCLAIMER: We are well aware this episode is the most poorly produced piece of content since Sharknado. Only Sharknado is cooler bc it has sharks.

The portable mics we bought in Africa weren't quite ready for the "recording in crowded restaurants blaring Pitbull" step in our podcasting careers.

However, we had a lot of fun making this and already spent the money on all the tacos—so we're gonna share it with the world. We hope you can find a few laughs amongst the nonsense.
