Summary

This week, everyone is back in the War Room for the same format. If it ain’t broke… I guess!

First, Da7e saw Osgood Perkins’ The Monkey and was not expecting it to be what is was, so he’s going to try and explain it. Then, Da7e has questions for his co-workers about boycotts that is mostly based out of curiosity. Finally, everyone has some TV they are excited about and we talk mostly about The Pitt before briefly touching on some other shows (and promising to loop back to Paradise and White Lotus).
