TIMESTAMPS
- 0:00 – Intro, which features one of the nifty commercials for the movie, which is seriously much, much better than the game.
- 41:30 – Emails! We learn more about Ole Scooty, and there is a check-in from everyone’s favorite Pokemon lover.
- 56:00 – It’s the hottest new feature on this show! Ask The Sweet Boys.
- 1:03:00 – Snifferoo. Thank god, we’re playing a GOOD game next week… For reals.
SHOW NOTES
– According to Price Charting, the various Bill & Ted games are cheaply priced. The cart costs about $9, and the box and manual go for $22.99. However, it’s a horrible game, so do something more effective with your cash, like burning it with fire.
– According to Entertainment Weekly and other sites, Bill & Ted 3 is still on-track to be made.

TIMESTAMPS
- 0:00 – Intro, which is the title theme for Quest 64, although it sounds more like The Nightly News with Peter Jennings.
- 43:00 – During the emails, we get a new segment: Ask the Sweet Boys! And, the rest of the emails! Guess what, we’re playing Pokemon Go like the rest of the world!
- 58:45 – Snifferoo. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the opposite of next week’s game series was taking place.
SHOW NOTES
– According to Price Charting, Quest 64 is pretty cheap now. Loose carts go for $8.72, and the manual and box ups the price to $29.49. The only thing cheaper on the system are a slew of sports games.
– Quest 64 is “new” enough that a review of it from 1998 still exists on Gamespot.
– TV Tropes writers had quite a bit of fun dissecting Quest 64.
