147 XBOX Scorpio, MLB The Show 17, Freedom is Free by Chicano Batman and Whips Apr 25, 2017

Show notes

Feels like living in a Tarantino flick with a grooving soundtrack from the recommended record Freedom Is Free. Shane is taking down fools in a 70's cop show and enjoys Big League Chew. Joel capitalizes on the increased value of the NES Classic and insists Side B is better. Karl struts down the road to ace bass and sings along to Persona 5.
