Uploaded on Mondays every now and then, these episodes are more casual and consist of us just talking about random things in our lives. These will tend to be more chill in energy so it can be used as a great sleep aid or if you're looking for something to fill the silence!

    In this episode, we talk a little bit about our lives growing up, some of the video games we've been playing recently, Narmak's Spongebob anime, and an update on how things are going with the podcast
