This is my favorite Nintendo show. Although this may be Lockleth’s final episode. You will still be remembered as a big part of The Nintendo Drive and Carpool Gaming, Bringing crazy and funny moments. I started really listening to The Nintendo Drive at the beginning of 2025 and this is my favorite show out of the 2 Carpool Gaming shows I listen to (The Nintendo Drive and the GOOYs). Shout out to episode 244 of the Nintendo Drive. Happy Carpool Gaming Graduation to Lockleth.

Canadaa month ago - I Hope This Podcast Never Changes
This podcast would just be three stars, but it has Lockleth and she's the best, so it gets the full five stars. I don't even know if I would still want to listen to the show if Lockleth left.....JUST KIDDING. I love you all equally, no one stands out.
