Janet and Isaiah talk about their time with the Switch 2 so far! Janet wishes she could be playing more while Isaiah goes on a rant about Mario Kart World. They also talk about their Summer Game Fest 2025 highlights, from announcements at the live show to rapid fire thoughts from hands-on time with games (GAMES). Then they talk about going to see an LA Dodgers vs NY Mets game before SGF formally kicked on, their history with baseball, and finish with chatting through some recent pulls they had opening up some trading card packs (NOT GAMES).
