Editor's note: this week's episode failed to upload individual stems of each recording, which means this final product is a bit rougher than usual. This is John and Streamyard's fault. Jordan did a great job with it.

I already listen to too many video game podcasts and now I am forced to listen to John and Niki people are too interesting and charming and I’m going to regret wasting my life on this when I die

Got into the pod through Niki and John’s appearances on GB and I’m so glad I did. These two have a unique voice I don’t hear anywhere else in games coverage, and they’re hilarious to boot. Niki nearly kills me on a consistent basis. Also shout out to John for being one of the few Virtua Fighter sickos in the gaming podcast space. We need more of them!
The podcast is good and the hosts are okay.
Listening to VGBees is why today, we live longer than we did 100 years ago. And if we keep microphones in front of John and Niki each week, maybe tomorrow we could live even longer.
15/10 show; I love hearing Niki, John and friends give each other massive belly laughs while talking games, sports, or whatever else happens to come up.
