For Episode 24, Josiah comes back with a vengeance. The friends talk about the Summer Special event, an emergency balance patch to kill Wolverine, other news, Season 3 first impressions, and the season 3 balance patch and hero hot list. And of course, there's the Reddit Take of the Week.

It's Episode 23, and Josiah sounds a bit different... This week its all about season 3 and the new hero, map, accessories system, customization options, battlepass, and everything else. There's also an especially chaotic Armed & Dangerous, and the only true tierlist is discussed in the Reddit Take of the Week.

It's Episode 22, and Josiah needs to catch a plane! It's a simpler episode this week, recorded in the dead of night. The friends talk some early season 3 news (before all the season 3 talk next week) and tierlist the characters they're looking forward to playing more of in season 3. Sebastian pulls night shift with Armed & Dangerous, and there's an especially cringe inducing edition of the Reddit Take of the Week.
