  • Ads That Aren’t Them

    Hey Ralph, Jake, and Lucy. I don’t know if y’all know, but the ads on this podcast on this app are baked in and are not y’all. I love the sponsor segments y’all have because it’s you guys talking and I rarely skip them even watching on YouTube, but this podcast starts with a random ad from someone who is not you and is baked into the podcast…? What’s going on?

  • Best for tying your shoes (and going to bed)

    The only podcast I keep listening to consistently — absolutely wonderful for all things video games! Side effect: people tend to stare at you when you start laughing uncontrollably in your little silly headphones standing in the metro train
