Advertise on podcast: Very Hicken Bros.

This is the first official monthly highlights episode of the Very Hicken Bros podcast; therefore, the edited episode jumps around within the month of November 2021. I put in many topics in the episode from the Talk to You Later livestream, which we had audio recordings of; such as the following: Trevor raves about Taco Bell's Grill Cheese Burrito. (https://www.tacobell.com/food/burritos/grilled-cheese-burrito) I share my NoName Nerd Minimeal NFT, which includes the crash of my computer; then, I take that moment to discuss my affiliation with NoName Nerd. (https://followmystream.com/alexnhicken/2021/11/20/minimeals/) Since the next subject is time sensitive I made sure to say the date that we published the next segment, which was dedicated to Kyung-bo Kim also known as the Overwatch League eSport’s athlete “Alarm," which was recorded/shared on November 10th, 2021. (https://www.ginx.tv/en/overwatch/overwatch-league-pro-alarm-has-passed-away-aged-20) Trevor and Nick discuss the Blizzard's Earnings call and the delay of Overwatch 2.

We conclude with my interview with Nick Chao on his rough sketch song called Roses and Lead Paint. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-hicken/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-hicken/support

Nick joins Trevor and I on this episode a first of Season 5 and more than a month for the Very Hicken Bros podcast.
