    Hey guys, Cody here. I wasn't here for this episode of the podcast, but I'm still the one posting the episode. I honestly have no idea what these guys talked about this week, I was too busy getting married. I imagine there is some discussion about Destiny 2 from Brandon, probably some Top Gun movie talk from CJ. Maybe a little Pokemon talk because that got shown off a bit right?
