Sorry for the delay, but your hosts are here! Amidst all the negativity happening in the world, your two friends catch up after a hiatus from recording after the birth of Josh's son. In this episode, Justin tries to be a farmer, Josh preordered a game (GASP!), and frustration was expressed after playing one of the worst games every created. In fact, I am pretty sure Justin would rather play Fortnite for 24 hours than play that game again.
