Episode 33 - Gaystation 5

June 18, 2020 09:00 - 55 minutes - 61.7 MB

Things are a little different in this one! Trevor streams "Solo" by Jennie and records an episode alone, reacting and commenting on Sony's Playstation 5 presentation!

May 21, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 66.1 MB

A few weeks back we recorded an episode, just to have Audacity continually stop functioning and for the file to seem corrupted.

Before "My Villain Academia" there was "Sasuke f**ks around and finds some followers."

Are straight people valid? No, but they can have a few good manga...as a treat.
