TVT: S2: A Bunch of Nothing

Tuesday May 21, 2019

This episode is here literally because we didn't have another one ready. It's the end of a recording session and we've had too much wine. This is the kind of stuff we usually reserve for our Patreon feed, but you're getting it for free. We contemplate where to retire as Golden Girls and prove again that we know nothing about geography or weather because of our shoddy education.
P.S. You don't need to write us or @ us about hurricanes. We don't care.
