Episode 394: The Midterms

On this week's show, we can't help but talk about how we feel after Tuesday's elections. Then Stan talks about Donkey Kong Bananza's impact on his kid, Shane's bewilderment with Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, and Dave's favorite new indie rock albums. When will he listen to some proper pop music?! We also review the MOBAPAD Chitu 2 C2 Lite Controller.
