821: YOU CAN'T KICK ME
Jan's out sick for this one, so Bakalar's taking over as co-captain of the ship! We're starting the new year right by talking about how soda sucks, Gremlins 2 (apparently) rules, and as it turns out: We like playing video games. Following that, we chat about how into Kojima's weirdness we are, the Switch getting a flash cart, and Mickey Mouse joining the public domain (featuring the opinions of a couple of our friends).
