(EDIT AND NOTE: I kept calling it the NW gaming expo in the episode but it is actually "The NW Pinball and Arcade show" - my apologies! Also, we do talk about the M/F assault incident from that weekend. While the conversation isn't graphic, I just wanted to let you know if you have younger listeners in the car.)
