During quarantine I used to listen to this podcast all the time and it was always a blast. I love the hosts and hope they’ll someday decide to use their platform for Jesus as well!! Great guys on here!

Ignorant lefties. Stick to games. You don’t need to make political comments on a gaming podcast.
Exactly the Nintendo Podcast I was looking for

I think the format of the show is brilliant, the interstitial music and sections like 4’33”. The opinion of the hosts are refreshing, other podcasters like at IGN all start to sound the same. While these hosts come from a different point of view and bring a fresh and humorous perspective.
