Kevin O’Neill and Evan never met. But that didn’t keep them from becoming Facebook friends. Hear how they’re connected, the depths of Kevin’s nerd culture and what are the best phone games out there? Plus, how many ways can Kevin operate on a bunny? (He’s a veterinarian.) So Evan also gets Kevin’s advice on his cats’ occasional vomiting. In addition, Kevin shares his ‘spam whispering’ attempts with Evan and Kevin reveals some data he uncovered about those people on the other end of those spam texts! Too much awkward to go around!
