With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon, the hosts take a look back at their experiences with the original Switch console. They go over how the platform affected their gaming and remember favorite titles, but also share criticisms and reasons why one might not have purchased a Switch at all.

In addition to that, there are also tales of speedrunning the Bible, encountering the mysterious Bubble Bobble Baron, re-experiencing the stress of high school romance, and being nostalgic over stick figure fights. So, stick around!

This episode is dedicated to all the random chickens crossing our path in life. Cherish them!
