Summary

Comedy writer Mike Drucker (Fallon, Samantha Bee, SNL) is here to talk about his memoir Good Game, No Rematch: A Life Made of Video Games. The thing is, while it's his debut memoir it's not the first book he's written. We dig into his scholastically nerdy past, his love of video games, his ill-fated Mario-themed wedding, Goethe, Silent Hill 2, working at Nintendo, working at SNL, his dad's painting of Captain Jack Sparrow and so much more. Plus we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and Podcast Pals Product Picks.
