After the first hour, we switch to Weekend Confirmed Y, with Insomniac's James Stevenson jumping in for a discussion on some of the latest board games before Jeff and Andrew debate their respective views on Beyond: Two Souls. The show wraps up with a new round of Finishing Moves before Andrew and Ozzie switch chairs once more for the post-show Tailgate.
