2.2) Kirby's Final Foam DPS Speed Isn't Explicit
New this season is the word of the day! And the Quote of the Episode returns with the 1996 annual event planner quote book! With this quote (or two) we reveal how many real world licks it takes.
This episode is brought to you in part by Soo Brewing Company who helped upgrade my Trinity Belgian Tripel to the super exclusive 2011 batch. That's one of our beverage reviews. The other is Faygo Orange Cream Soda.
RLXP includes a butt dropping and a toilet drop.
We've played the action RPG Final Fantasy 16 (PS5), the unique twist on mini-golf that is Kirby's Dream Course (SNES/Switch), The 2-d platformer racing game Speedrunners (XBSeX), the game design study Interaction Isn't Explicit (PS5), and the game that really should be a mobile game but isn't DPS Idle (XBSeX/Steam). DPS Idle isn't like the D&D idle game that gets a quick dis.
Our reccos are Soo Brewing Company & their beer, Peep Show (the British television comedy series available on Tubi), 5 Below (the store for unique snacks), and The Movie Cellar podcast (Now back with new episodes!)

Great hosts and Excellent Recommendations
Even as someone who doesn’t personally play a lot of video games, this podcast is an excellent listen on my commute home from work! The hosts are extremely passionate about the topics making it an engaging podcast, and the drink recommendations are a huge plus! I have stopped on my drive to pick up a pack of the recommended drink on my way home so that I can enjoy it after work! Would definitely recommend taking a listen
I like beer and I like video games
The host being charming and easy to listen to is just icing on the cake. What a fun mellow time 5/5 would recommend
