Every year or so, fans from around the world gather in one specific place to celebrate a little franchise we all know as Star Wars. And this year, Trio Simpatico's own David Tavolier was fortunate to attend!

Held in Orlando Florida, this year's Celebration was special indeed. Not only has it been 40 years since the release of the original Star Wars in 1977, but we're edging ever closer to the next installment of the Star Wars saga; Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Add to that all the new video games, TV shows, comics, and basically any other medium Star Wars can possibly embody and you definitely have a franchise worth celebrating.

It's a good time to be a Star Wars fan, so join Josh and David as they discuss David's trip to Star Wars Celebration, The Last Jedi trailer, Star Wars Battlefront II, Star Wars Rebels, and much more!

"Donuts.  Is there anything they can't do?"

---Matt Groening 

 

"If you're talking about how you promoted synergy in an organization, that could mean you just got everybody together for donuts twice a week."

---Erin McKean

 

Yes, that's right!  This episode of TRIO SIMPATICO is completely dedicated to DONUTS!  Those wondrous doughy rings that Americans have been stuffing their gobs with since 1847!  

Joining us in this celebration of confectionery creations are TWO returning guests: LAUREN WITSAMAN and MARY CLAIRE WILLIAMS making this week's TRIO SIMPATICO a quartet!  

Josh, David, Lauren, and Mary Claire each scoured Northeast Ohio for their favorite donut shops (or those shops which had the most convenient hours) and requested the top three best selling varieties from each establishment.  Then they got together, divided up their baked-good* bounty, and compared notes during a professionally executed DOUGHNUT TASTE TEST!

Listen in as the panel also discusses their favorite doughnut franchise chains, other shops not represented in our sampling, the best types of donuts, and their misadventures during this particular donut hunt!

All of this and MORE on this episode of TRIO SIMPATICO!

*We are aware that doughnuts are technically fried but for the sake of alliteration we allowed this factual discrepancy
