Show notes

Little peek behind the curtain here: This is Brendon. I usually write these things... but I'm not in this episode! So I don't really know what to put here this time around. I think they talk about Zelda a bit? Maybe some Mario? Can't wait to find out along with you! Regardless: Thanks to Dom Nero for filling in for me this week, thanks to Zant for continually being our muse, and thanks to you dear listener.
