    Links and Show Notes

    Things kick off with the usual disagreements about the doc and its proper usage. Merlin thought he was going to be driving, but John curtly redirects him into the trunk.

    Follow-up brings a handful of fun D&D-related content, including the work of John's talented Cousin Frankie. Outrage-based documentaries are considered.

    As your hosts share their frustrating and mostly fruitless journeys toward that elusive date with the needle, hope you like filling out forms and hitting "refresh."
