Season 02 : Episode 03 : No, Mom You Can’t Pause A Live Game

Episode Summary

In today’s episode, I’m going to help the Squid Squad teach their parents why you cannot, in fact, pause a live game. So Squids, make sure you’ve grabbed mom or dad to listen, and make them put their phones down in the other room. Moms and dads, if you’re listening – thanks for being here – and buckle in because the squad has a bunch of things they want you to know.

REMEMBER: Be careful and avoid moist dudes in basements

Co-host: the metaphorical Magic Claw
