0:23.1	A Place About Games, Friends, and Getting Better. I'm Ben Hansen, joined by Jacob Geller.
0:27.3	Finally, you let me back on one of these things.
0:29.6	How long has it been?
0:31.6	Five weeks. Are you serious?
0:35.0	It's good that you count the weeks.
0:36.7	The hats. I count the second'm away from you, Jacob.
0:39.0	I've played so many games that I haven't given takes about because y'all just already talked about them. All right, we're going to be talking about some of those games on this episode of the podcast, and then we have an episode coming up that's going to be about kind of... The Monica 2 is good.
