Send us Fan Mail WARNING: This episode is super gross. There's a lot of vomit talk here. The City of Brotherly Love...is overrated.

Send us Fan Mail We're doing something different this week. Rather than one short story or a series of stories that share a theme, we're covering two completely unrelated tales.
