Haters will say it's fake. But no. We are back. With PUBG content. In this episode we talk PUBG - what made it great and what could be better.

In this episode, we introduce 3 brand new segments to the show! First up - John's Loadout Lowdown, a segment all about situational loadouts, favored weapons and tools for specific locations, and whatever else John feels like talking about. Just don't ask him to make a great point. Second, if you've listened to the show before, we've got the natural evolution of Cody's hall of fame worthy Dumb As Hayull segment: CODY STANDS AND YELLS AND WAVES HIS ARMS. You can guess what happens in during this segment.  And finally, Dan rounds off the episode with Why Does My Guy Suck?: A new segment all about breaking down what went wrong (or right) in an engagement. You can follow along at home by watching this clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/CrazyMoistCamelTinyFace We break down the action and zero in on the "turning point" - what was it that made us successful or fail during this fight?
