Friend of the show Ruben returns to discuss the Trials, a "boss" "rush" added to the game after the Into Oblivion update.

They discuss the puzzles, the challenge, and the lore of the trials.

Also discussed: good music discoveries, Everdeep Aurora and psychological generosity, and the community's big SGDQ moment.
