Side Quests Vol. 1

Much like side streets, side arms, side tables, side dishes and sidemen, can provoke surprisingly strong feelings. This week we're going off the beaten track, ignoring the main objective and tackling the good, the bad and the ugly of secondary storylines. We've got drunken foolery, farting pigs and complete letdowns. But enough about the hosts, on with the podcast! As always, the Boys catch up on what they've been playing this week. Glenn's leaning into spooky season with not only a horrifyingly nostalgic trip to the Scottish Isles but also a video game-themed trip to the cinema. Meanwhile, Sarah's throwing tradition to the wind as they discuss a game they're planning on playing which is like "Breath of the Wild, but good". To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast: Thanks again to all those who came to Button Boys Live at Leicester Square Theatre.
