Episode 28: A Piggyback?! He's Supposed to be Dead! [Lost Levels and Mario 2]

It's been a strange week, so here's a strange episode.  You almost didn't get this one!  This week, we did what we've been threatening to do for a while.  No, not that.  That would break our rating.  The other thing!  We recorded a double-game episode!  That other one didn't happen.  To keep up the weirdness, this week's show notes are brought to you by Zachigan, son of Zach.
