What do you do when you show up to record without a topic? Find out how we work (or don't) in this bonus episode where we also publicly commit to several things.

We have a lot to talk about when it comes to this debate, most of it isn't actually about subs vs. dubs but hey that's not why you're here anyway! Shoutout to our friend @jessayleee on Twitter for making us some new PNG Tubers!

We just kinda started talking and some funny things went down. New full episode tomorrow!
