    I’ve listened to previous episodes, but not in their entirety. You guys have great chemistry, great music, knowledge of VGM, and (best of all) you are just natural.

    I’ll definitely be a consistent listener from now on.

    - I think the “J” in Harjawalder is silent

    - Larry needs one of those push in lights with the work FUCKED on it. If illuminated: FUCKED If not: UNFUCKED

    - OCRemix is awful. Techno music? Come on. Everyone knows that Bluegrass is the only true music alive.

    - Don’t forget the Sixto Sounds / Zircon TMNT cover. Badassery for miles.

    - If Snappleman could get away with it, he would have music videos of dicks flying around the entire time, with an occasional interruption of the “You’re Gay” Ponch poster, and the video of the bear that attacks that ancherwoman live on TV.

    Keep rocking gents.
