Manage episode 487854337 series 2372969
A surprise Switch 2 drop, a blue screen of death, and Father’s Day gift loopholes - this episode has it all.
Trevor barely escapes the clutches of buying a brand-new Switch 2… but just barely. Meanwhile, Jeff’s aging Switch kicks the bucket in spectacular fashion, sparking a desperate race against time to recover lost Pokémon and Zelda saves. With Father's Day around the corner, could a little gaming “gift” be the loophole that lets these dads break their no-new-games vow?
The dads dive into:
The real-world temptation of walking into a store and seeing Switch 2 on the shelf
An unexpected $800 price tag (!!!)
First impressions from a dad who actually got one
The harsh reality of old hardware failing at the worst time
How to (maybe) get away with buying a game… if your kids want to play it with you 😇
If you're a dad balancing budget, backlogs, and the burning need for 120 FPS Fortnite, this one’s for you.
