This week we're diving into Nintendo's bizarre life sim, Tomodatchi Life: Living the Dream, which allows a bunch of Miis to eat cigarettes for breakfast. Griffin also regales us on his experience visiting Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios, and we explore the total nonsense going on with handhelds these days.

  1. Russ Frushtick· Host0:00

    Guys, I don't do well in the sun.

  2. Griffin McElroy· Host0:01

    No.

  3. Russ Frushtick· Host0:02

    Did you know that? Can you imagine me in the sun?

  4. Griffin McElroy· Host0:04

    No, I, I can only imagine you dancing in the moonlight, and that's my own sort of stuff that I'm- Frolicking. Yeah.

  5. Russ Frushtick· Host0:12

    I took, I took, uh, my family to Puerto Rico over spring break when I was out, uh, from the Besties. And, um, I had a lovely time. It was fantastic.

  6. Griffin McElroy· Host0:21

    Yeah.

  7. Russ Frushtick· Host0:21

    But I think they might have called me the chupacabra when I was there- Hm ... 'cause it did, my skin did not look like a human being's skin after about a day.

  8. Griffin McElroy· Host0:29

    What did it... I mean, what happened to it?

  9. Russ Frushtick· Host0:31

    It- 'Cause I...

  10. Griffin McElroy· Host0:32

    Usually it just turns red for me if I get too much on it, but does yours do sort of something different?

  11. Russ Frushtick· Host0:37

    I mean, there's redness. It starts with red.

  12. Griffin McElroy· Host0:40

    Okay.

  13. Russ Frushtick· Host0:40

    And then it- Did you take proper precautions?

  14. Justin McElroy· Host0:42

    That's my first question.

  15. Griffin McElroy· Host0:43

    Yeah.

  16. Russ Frushtick· Host0:43

    So it turns out 30 SPF was not enough.

  17. Griffin McElroy· Host0:46

    [laughs] Oh, my God, for your alabaster, porcelain skin?

  18. Justin McElroy· Host0:49

    For you?

  19. Griffin McElroy· Host0:49

    No way, dude.

  20. Russ Frushtick· Host0:50

    I had 30 lying around.

  21. Justin McElroy· Host0:51

    I, I don't even know how you- I was like, "That's enough" ... convert SPF to RPF, first of all. [laughs] [laughs] There's like... There's another chart that you gotta do. The numbers don't even work the same way as like Celsius.

  22. Russ Frushtick· Host1:00

    I will say on the third day it looked more like a plaid than anything.

  23. Griffin McElroy· Host1:05

    Okay. Yeah.

  24. Russ Frushtick· Host1:06

    Which is not good. Um, and now I'm just shedding into my new evolution. Who knows what I'm gonna be?

  25. Griffin McElroy· Host1:12

    Oh, that's cool.

  26. Russ Frushtick· Host1:12

    It's like Species.

  27. Griffin McElroy· Host1:13

    Dude- Hm ... what if a different Russ shows up next week, Juice? And it's like this... And his name will be like Russ Star, and he'll be like bigger and stronger and cooler.

  28. Russ Frushtick· Host1:25

    Mm-hmm. Sunglasses.

  29. Griffin McElroy· Host1:27

    Sunglasses, stronger,
