0:00.0	You've switched to Nintendo Voice Chat for the week of March 26th.
0:03.5	2026. I'm your host, Logan Plant.
0:05.2	Join just by Reb Valentine this week. Hey, Reb. It's just me. The glasses have defeated the balls this week on NBC. We got a really fun show. It's going to be a bit of a shorter show. We have 45 minutes and a ton to get to. so let's jump right into it.
0:20.0	Super Mario Brothers, oh no, I messed it up.
0:22.2	I stumbled.

1:10.6	each Kupeling gets a different

1:16.3	Morton here where he turns into this giant robot puppet who attacks you from the background
1:20.1	and he needs to work a way to climb up to these ropes to kind of yank his arms off. That's like way
