I can't believe it.

Max has asked me to move in with him.

I mean, you practically live with each other already, but that's great.

Did you hear that, Joe?

Yes, thanks for letting us know.

I see you've updated your universal credit claim.

Hello and welcome to the Retro Hour podcast, episode number 193, your weekly dose of retro gaming and technology news with me, Dan Wood.

Me Ravi Abbott and me, Joe Fawkes.
