Welcome to Kitaku Split Screen, the only podcast that gives you three tokens and a blue.

It's November 30th, 2017, and we've got a lot to talk about this week.

games right now? And that was one of my answers. Well, there's this money making scheme. I don't know if it's

really, it's kind of, you know, adjacent to video games.

table who decided to stand up for Trump or anything. So maybe we got lucky in that, in that respect.

I think you did. So the most
