We move into seeing the legends perform at Wrestlemaina and Ken speaks about the infamous unscripted Scott Steiner promo. Don claims the Nakamura/Zayn match at NXT Takeover is the match of the year. Ken talks about his DJ set at the Art and Soul NJ art show curated by Rich Lopez. We transition into What Are You Playing and hear about Mad Max, Happy Wheels, PAC-MAN 256, Bunker Punks, Destiny, Hyper Light Drifter and Miitomo. Ken kicks in with his new segment What Are You Vaping and talks about his flavors of the week, Milkman and Looper and gets into DIY juice making. We talk about Geek Flea XI and then get into Do You Care.

DOOM has to go to the Mages Guild, so the boys decide on recording episode 6 after two consecutive games of Dungeons & Dragons. Stu, Shawn George and Hambone realize that their current game has been going on for 11 years and are currently in Sigil. They begin with some talk about the astral plane and sleep paralysis and then move into their adventure in Sigil. We get a history lesson about their time in summer school and then they move into the second part with added panelist, Ed Coleman. DOOM serenades Shawn Dillon and then they move into their game where they find a chest with tarot cards, wishes and beans. Then they end on a fun note! Don't forget to subscribe to Unwinnable Weekly, the best cultural criticism in your inbox every Friday: Subscribe Here
