Today, we make a delayed check in on how things are going with Phase 2 of TBC thus far with the raiding scene and more with previous guest of the show, Yolo. After that, the show goes down a brave, new path by not discussing video games at all and providing you with a 2 hour rockumentary for the 30th anniversary of Nirvana's classic album, 'Nevermind', with old favourites Jason and Hunk. This one is not to be missed!
