One of our mics had weird hitching the entire show and we didn't realize until after we finished recording so no episode this week! We were tricked into having a conversation with each other.

We talk about what it’s like when one hates a game the other loves, what it means to “Hate Finish” a game, and more (GAMES). Then we play a new game of “Guess The Character” (NOT GAMES).

Frequent Gangcast guest Bruce had a medial emergency this past weekend. If you have the means to do so consider donating to help us pay off his medical debt.

As you may have assumed, no episode went up this week because we have had our hands full with this one.
In the meantime, this is a great opportunity to catch up on any episodes you've missed!

My cat Bruce is okay now but he really went through it. He had a urinary block, which can be fatal. This all started on Thursday night & a lot of hurdles came up. I was a wreck. He's finally home so no content from me this week so I can keep an eye on him. Ps. turns out he is a boy cat.
