The second half of the episode is a live episode recorded at Kink.com's Armory Bar in San Francisco with one of our favorite guests: Bobbi Starr and her angel of a pup, Nora! We're joined by comedians Guy Branum, Dave Ross, and Renee Gauthier. Stick around after the episode for a bonus secret track from Jake & Eli. Thank you everyone for listening, everyone we've had on the show, and to everyone who voted for Obama! XOXO! -Jake & Eli
