Ep. 4: Balloonfest '86

Liv tells Ian about the time United Way of Cleveland held a fundraising event that released over a million balloons. Sadly, the fundraiser was a failure, resulting in the death of two men and an unprecedented amount of public destruction.

Ian has questions about Drew Carey. Liv wants ice cream.
