Introduction
This is the first numbered episode, even though the hosts had already recorded a previous episode entitled Teaser Ep. (Just Kidding, Episode 0). During that previous episode's Number 4' , there was a discrepancy on how AOL's Instant Messenger AIM was pronounced. Patty believed it to be pronounced like the word 'aim' (an initialization), while Kath and Eli both agreed it was pronounced A-I-M' (an acronym). That argument spilled over onto Twitter between episodes where a Twitter user held a poll on the correct pronunciation, which vindicated Patty's pronunciation by 69% (nice), but Kath and Eli were not ready to let it go at first.
