Episode 004 - Happy Hump Day

Episode 004 - Happy Hump Day

Relly explains why leaving the house with a piece of toast in your mouth is bound to lead to embarrassment and Pauly is preparing to play a lot of Dominion. There’s discussion of Relly’s favourite manga and anime, why The Guild is worth a watch and also live comedy recommendations. Plus Relly’s recording fails near the end, heralding the exciting return of cheese of the week. Happy hump day, listeners!

Theme music: Helix Nebula by Anamanaguchi, from the album Power Supply.
