Scott Tailford· Host0:00

[upbeat music] Josh Brown, every single game under the sun has now been revealed. We know what's coming this year and, but, uh, a whole lot of stuff for 2027 as well.

Josh Brown· Host0:12

We certainly know what's coming September 24th, 2026. [laughs] Uh, everything under the sun, like you just mentioned.

Scott Tailford· Host0:18

I, uh... We thought we'd do a bit of a recap. I should say this is The Wind-Up. I am Scottzilla, that is Josh Brown.
