In this episode, Trav and Alex get the pleasure of interviewing a different kind or runner. Tara recently completed all 24 races at the festival of 5k's, the Pemberton 24. That's right. She ran 24 5K races in one day. We ask her about that experience, how running as a hobby began for her, as well as what she eats and how she trains. The show is kicked off with what videos have been produced by the hosts lately and a pair of listener emails about our favorite games played in 2020 and if SNESdrunk will ever add ratings to his reviews.

On this Gin filled episode we are joined by Alex of the popular YouTube channel SNES Drunk and podcast DrunkFriend. What is the difference between Old Tom Gin vs London Dry Gin? Would you get "Gin Crazy" during the Gin Craze? Should you play Dragon View? Ok that last one is random, but join us as we answer these questions and more while enjoying a lovely Tom Collins.

Alex is so freaked out and disoriented that his longtime girlfriend Pearl stops by to calm him down and talk some Final Fantasy VII Remake (as well as Extra Innings for SNES...?) But as soon as she leaves, Alex is back to ranting to himself before Trav stops by to get things back on a professional level, as we talk school, YouTube scheduling, and a lot more!
