''I have no reason to lie'' | Tetris Interview with Mega Retroman | Piece Dependency Podcast #44

Before August of 2024, Mega Retroman was mostly known for defeating Jonas in his last Live CTWC event.

But things all changed when MRM posted a screenshot of a 1.36 million DAS run. Which is a World Record.. Or not?

Mega Retroman joins Frank to tell him all about it. They also talk about CTWC 2019, Legends Cup during CTWC 2023 and much more!
