Bee Game League discord moderator Joe Sklover joins Blake and Kyle to discuss the Bee Game League and other topics, including some of the early roots of not just Killer Queen Black, but of its precursor Killer Queen Arcade; Blake and Kyle recap the nail-biting Stinger Bee League playoffs; and we discuss the upcoming offseason and what's in store for the future of the Stinger Bee League and for the future of the BuzzCast. Excitement! Suspense! Drama! Exclamatives! The BuzzCast! You! Listen!

P.S. We were remiss during this episode in forgetting to thank everyone from Bee Game League and abroad who watched the Stinger Bee League playoffs, but we saw you and we were humbled and indeed we are very grateful - thank you for taking the time to tune in and watch us!
