Listen to the Episode Here!
This time on TLT, Ali astounds the others with a Shakespearean retelling of a Portuguese love ballad, Zaki downs volcanic food like a savage while playing in a mud bath, and Zaeem drifts a wicker basket down a road while shouting about magic. Join us as we try to talk about Portugal amidst all this!
Random Rubbish
I have nothing to link here. Ali and Zaki spent the entire pre-recording session making horrible slurpy sounds. You're lucky you only heard the last few seconds of it. I had to suffer through the whole thing. -- Zaeem

Purple Tea
EDIT: This was a good fact! You should have waited for the proper time, though. -- Ali
EDIT 2: I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban! -- Zaeem
