What's up everyone! After many, many requests, we are starting to podcast our episodes LIVE, and we started this format with Extra Life Game Day 2020!
In this episode, Al reviews how the day was going so far as he attempted the 24 hour marathon to raise money for Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).
