This episode features:
- An intoxicating round of “Select Difficulty”.
- Hilariously uncomfortable life lessons brought to you by 90s Ad Council.
- A “Full House” themed argument ending in physical violence.
- The introduction of the “Media MoneyShot” segment regarding games, comic books, and money saving deals.
- The introduction of the “Vs.” segment in which we pit a 19th century method of transportation against Borderlands 2 loot, and an all-purpose household item versus a method of cooking Italian food. (Trust us, it makes sense.)
So now that you know how much hilarity is packed into this episode, sit back, relax, and give it a listen. Knowing is half the battle, so you must be exhausted. Let us do the rest of the heavy drinking, err, I mean lifting.
