The Dig Dug Time Theory

This week’s episode begins with a discussion of the latest Super Mario Bros. speedrun record, and a video that breaks it down, but then quickly moves to talking about trolls of all kinds: from patent trolls to time traveling trolls, to robot trolls and student trolls. Then in the paranormal segment, Brian and Angelo look at flat earthers, before going on to talk about people listening to podcasts on Youtube, which is so scary to Angelo that it may as well be paranormal.
