April Fools gotcha, cause.. it is the 2nd... Enjoying a lovely power bowl with chicken spinach and hummus (hold the onions) Steven and Kenny met again this week to discuss all sorts of Los Angeles shenanigans and rarely finish any story that they begin. Ever wonder why clear-com speakers are called "biscuits"? Find out here, because that might be the only actual information imparted this week.

Just in time for the Holidays, Kenny and Steven get together to discuss some more holiday music, the GMCLA, Laguna Playhouse, and the Postal Service. Even the self service kiosks were busy. Los Angeles also has two great versions of A Christmas Carol out there that everyone should run out to see! The year of podcasts draws to a close and although the boys get a little sentimental, they will be back in 2014 for more "You Pick 2" meals and conversation!
