North, Hunk, Cleavis, Tokens, Warriors, SoM2, this episode has it all! The discussion surrounding the token warranted a bit more exploration and so here's another two hours on it on top of the two you got last week (*obsessed much?*). Listen in to the blossoming bromance that is North and Hunk (Horth? Nunk?) as the guys zero in on the token, what is pay to win in 2023 and the dream that is an instance-less BRD. After that, Cleavis joins the show to provide more dulcet tones from north of the border, chatting Blizzcon, the token, Wrath, the community council, and what could potentially be done, if anything, to Warriors in SoM2.

• Token II - The Tokening w/ North & Hunk - 2:15
• Blizzcon, Wrath Balancing, Token, & Community Council w/ Cleavis - 2:20:40
• The SoM2 Warrior Conundrum w/ Cleavis - 3:41:10
