Well, if I find myself really missing brass band dirges during this year's Fallas, I'll know where to go!

And I don't know what to say about that ad but I guess in this day and age, we should just be glad someone will purchase an ad in a print newspaper!

1) DnD resurgence came with Stranger Things
2) you ABSOLUTELY need to do the reading of the Book of Enoch with former guests!
3) Brandon falling into his Texas roots with his “y’all” near the end of the ep - classic!
