Were the trashy movies too much for us to handle? Has the mob finally found us? Did Wright ever figure out who the hell Phyllis Diller is? Most of these things did happen BUT we did, though, join a new podcast network. The lovely people over at OneofUs.net led by Chris Cox has taken us under their wing. Please find us on the OneofUs.net website or please listen to us on Spotify movin...
