AFK re-run this week, we'll see you next week with brand new episodes.

Today, we're diving into some hot topics, like my take on the new Sydney Sweeney casting as Madame Web and the buzz around the Netflix Scott Pilgrim series. Oh, and of course, the Lions corner—our domination and the fan reactions. But hold on tight because the spotlight's on me—yes, my Twitch earnings slip-up, mental health updates, and how I'm chilling outside the OG Fortnite bubble. So, accidentally showing my Twitch earnings to the world—let’s talk about that moment, transparency, community vibes, and how I’ve been handling it. Plus, later let’s explore my potential end of streaming ponderings and find out if I’ve got any special plans lined up for the future.
