The Kevin & Bean Podcast, Thursday, January 10, 2013

It is cold in California, it is going to rain and everyone is in a panic. The highest tides in measured history on the west coast are happening.

Bean shares a couple of stories related to Starbucks.

First, a Seattle woman who makes crazy year-long resolutions has decided that she is going to eat and drink at Starbucks all year long. This woman's name is Beautiful Existence, if that helps you understand a little better.

Second, also in Seattle, a man was hit by a bus, hard enough to shatter the bus window. He then stands up, bleeding profusely, and walks into the Starbucks and tries to order. Since he has suffered a concussion, he makes this order with hevay bertation, and employees call 911.
