This dredged up a long forgotten memory of a jingle, and now it's bugging me that I'm not sure if I remember the number correctly

Remember, AI bros are pushing outrageousness (“casting” beloved dead performers, inventing AI actors) because they are hemorrhaging cash and need the buzz. Ignore.

Dusted off the 3DS for no particular reason this week, and I'm fully back in on Link Between Worlds.

Only really played Ocarina and Mario 3D Land on it otherwise, but got Monster Hunter on order. What other games should I pick up?

Yeah good shout. Jay's probably started his own podcast that Neil is the only listener of.

Jay is also obviously well into Andrew Tate

Jay would absolutely have blown his inheritance on NFTs.
Neil is convinced his AI girlfriend is real.
Will is a middle manager who everyone hates.
Simon is still stalking Carly.

That time Jared Leto definitely wasn't mad that someone threw a dildo at him. Please don't put in the newspaper that he got mad.

Also, shout out to the video editior immediately cutting to an inflatable penis, he earned his money that day.

Great choice to start! I recently watched The Snow Woman which is a feature length version of one of the segments, also comes highly recommended 👌
