Show notes

In an episode inspired by a game review code we received, Andrew returns alongside Ben, who’s been buying a single movie multiple times for SOME reason. Ben has given up on “Sucky Assassin's Creed” for now, but he sees promise in an “FRPG” game he’s been playing recently. Andrew has been doing something incredibly constructive with his pent-up frustration from the consistent misrepresentation of autism by the Department of Health and Human Services; he’s also been working on constructing a companion deck of cards for his ADHD book. Next, they think about their oddly numerous and influential puppetry-related experiences in their lifetimes. Finally, Ben talks about a game he has been playing called Once Upon a Puppet.
