This week's podcast topic is brought to us by request from c.a.suave on IG. This is technically a repeat, but luckily Matt and Sacco have shit memories, so this will feel brand new.

Here is part 2 of the zombies storyline which we thought would fit into a one-hour podcast, how silly of us. Matt struggles to follow the story, Marissa explains a multiple universe-spanning mess, and Sacco fixes his audio issues.

The Sims is a game that Marissa holds very dear to her heart. When we did our video game bracket recently, the Sims won, much to the disdain of some.
