Time for the cast of Daria to answer the call of the wild—and time for us to cover "Antisocial Climbers," this week on Morgendorks! When a class trip up a mountain gets stranded in a blizzard, the whole gang finds themselves stressing over what might become of them. Quinn, particularly, because there's a good chance the group draws and quarters her. Why? Find out with us!
Also, we dive into the tragic and harrowing story of the Donner Party—a real-life example of westward expansion gone wrong that has inspired a huge amount of our media over the past century-and-a-half, including (in small part) this episode!
