    After our break, we got right back into what we do best...chatting about at home dining etiquette. Then we listened to some TERRIBLE music, followed by some better music so do not worry. We discussed what might be TOO dramatic for a funeral, while also talking about what we'd want for our own celebration of life. We then talked about recent gaming news and upcoming releases, music that we've been listening to and much more!   Wicked Radio: Tren: Sango - Tell You Anything (feat.

    Before our two week break, we wanted to start off this episode by introducing a VERY special guest, and are joined later on by yet ANOTHER special guest, that escalates the energy of the pod fairly quickly.
