Episode 244.5 - Second Breakfast 2025 Once again, Jon was joined by many members of the community at breakfast on Saturday at Con of the Rings. First, our old buddy Chad sits down with Chris and Jon to recap the first day of the Con. Then, some familiar voices and new friends sit down to share bad beats, narrow escapes, and ridiculous jank.
