It's Episode 23, and Josiah sounds a bit different... This week its all about season 3 and the new hero, map, accessories system, customization options, battlepass, and everything else. There's also an especially chaotic Armed & Dangerous, and the only true tierlist is discussed in the Reddit Take of the Week.

It's Episode 22, and Josiah needs to catch a plane! It's a simpler episode this week, recorded in the dead of night. The friends talk some early season 3 news (before all the season 3 talk next week) and tierlist the characters they're looking forward to playing more of in season 3. Sebastian pulls night shift with Armed & Dangerous, and there's an especially cringe inducing edition of the Reddit Take of the Week.

For Episode 21, Nick and Josiah decide Rivals is too fun and decide to ruin it. There's some news, the friends talk "How to Lose More and Have Less Fun". There's also a bot vs bot edition of Armed & Dangerous, a Moon Knight Hero Spotlight, and of course, the Reddit Take of the Week.
