E & L are back! And we are ready to address our why! Why did we do this? Why is it called "Unconditional"? We also discuss a bit about behavior, what it is, and why it happens [hint: it's communication!]

Some highlights include L saying "moist" [sorry], we accidentally 6 7 you [sorry], and there are technical difficulties [also sorry!].
