Listen, eat responsibly, work out, take care of yourself. Or not, do what you want, it's fine. But, we do get in a little debate about why we don't take care of ourselves maybe the way we should. Hash and Brendan will yell, and Nick will encourage both sides to do so. Have fun

After a long break, the guys are back in full swing. Nick's doing live theatre again and there's an intense debate over how one should perform when they don't have any lines. We're happy to be back.

It happens somewhat randomly so be prepared.
This one's a little different. When video games are the reason for Brendan being stuck in his head, the guys take a deep dive into what makes them so entertaining and, at times, addicting, and how they either help or hinder your daily life.
