Rich and Jake spend a whole lot of time walking. And Fighting. And Walking. And Fighting. And then there's more walking. Followed by even more fighting.

Jake and Rich continue on as Vaan makes an ass of himself numerous times, we run into a spoiled little turd who is actually quite useful to have around, debate how much like Prince some guy looks like, feel defensive about how Fran is treated by other bunny ladies, and overall have a mostly ok time. Mostly. For the most part. Its fine. Mostly fine. *shrug* All of that and much much much much much much more on the latest episode of that thing that honestly Rich would much rather be talking about the FFVII Remake during that we call DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN CHOCOBOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
