Drive-by Shoutouts

He also gave a shoutout to TXBD on the OK Beast finale, so if anyone is checking out our show on his recommendation, welcome and thank you.
YouTube Comments:
Heather Boney: Award winning segue that would make even Seth Meyers proud: “We should probably slam the brakes on this conversation because we have some breaking news.” Well done, Ryan!
To echo everyone else, this podcast is getting better by the week. Absolutely love the easy conversation between Ryan and Sean, the graphics and the fact that you actually show the gameplay while talking about it. That is essential for this listener/viewer! Thanks for such a great show!
Erik Cave: The video show gets better every week. Good job on showing the game videos while you talk about them. This has become my go to Xbox Podcast because you talk about games you are playing, keep it focused on Xbox while not stoking the console wars, stick to the facts instead of speculation and you have fun. Keep it up!
