In this very silly and pointless episode four of us play the Total Rickall Card Game. We enthusiastically recommend that game and Rick and Morty S2E4, from which it came. In the intro Brad explains why posting this episode at all is pointless. And why the Nintendo Switch Zelda: Breath of the Wild stamina bar is total BS.
