Summary
This week, the hosts have to deal with Spring Break and the various trips for people not named David. Patches is absent entirely on the West Coast attending Disneyland and visiting family. Katey is also visiting family, but finds some time to call in to hear Da7e talk about Super Mario Galaxy while her kids watch Wreck It Ralph in another room. Before that, David calls from his laptop near his kids to talk about how book writing is going and the new trailer for A24’s The Backrooms.
Da7e’s just around, seeing some movies, watching some trailers.
