Episode 521 - The Older We Get, the More We Side with the Villain

from Mind Gap

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin are back after a few weeks of rest over the holidays. Justin shares a few gym experiences with Doug including someone rocking a Christian podcast at full volume in the locker room and someone who decided to get up close and personal with the dumbbell rack. The dorks recount the boardgames they played while Doug and his family visited Justin and Beth in Grand Rapids and then Doug poses a hypothetical question to Justin that involves a risky ocean challenge for a large sum of money. The guys then move into their main topic of how they have begun to see the villain's perspective of things as they've gotten older. Some of the villains the nerds seem to side with include Magneto, Killmonger, Thanos, The Joker, along with an uncomfortable amount of others.   Things are wrapped up with a new game called Patch Notes: Real Life Edition, where Justin reads out patch notes for real life and Doug has to decide if they're good or if they should be scrapped as garbage.   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.
