Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey! This episode was pre-pre-pre-recorded a long while ago in the midst of Kurtbatical 2016, but I figured it couldn't hurt to get ahead in FLoB.

Today I announce a brief but much needed hiatus, a Kurtbatical as fans have coined, for the remainder of the month of May.

However, this news doesn't stop us from having a "normal" FLoB episode, as we continue answering i...

Today we discuss the loss of the Minecraft "salute" with the latest update. Then, along with the FLoB Friday Twitch audience, we ponder the slow and unavoidable decay of old age... at least, in the minds of a bunch of 30-somethings.
