TikTok, on the Clock ⏰
Episode Description
This week, Marques, Andrew, and David start things off with the Model Y refresh (naturally, there are conflicting opinions) before digging deep into the potential TikTok ban. After that, it's all about the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement! We recorded this the day before the announcement but thankfully all of the most recent leaks that were discussed ended up being true! What luck. After that, we end it all with a new game that Adam is calling "Crown and Clown" before wrapping it all up with trivia. Enjoy!
