Button Boys

Take out your textbooks and turn to Button Boys. It's officially the Winnie-the-Pooh episode (because of the bingo call, not because the Boys have no clothes on from the waist down). This week, it's time for a spot of revision as Glenn, Pierre and Sarah look back at what they've learned from video games. From the Byzantines to sashimi, the Boys discover that their countless hours of gaming haven't all been for nothing. But before that, we catch up on what they've been playing. Pierre's come to the end of an epic journey, Sarah's been sharing their horrifying experiences and Glenn's come to grips with the state of humanity in a post-apocalyptic world.

To find out the questions we will be answering, alongside what the Boys have been up to over the past week and Taylor Swift's deleted track, press play now!

Fling wide your windows and turn your stereos up to ten because it's a brand-spanking-new episode of Button Boys and everyone needs to know about it. We live in the busiest era in human history*, constantly distracted by work, love life, eating, sleeping and breathing with no time for what matters: gaming. Steam sales, recommendations, gifts and impulse purchases have left us with an intimidatingly large pile of games that get buried over time. This week, Sarah, Pierre and Glenn are tasked with painstakingly excavating this hoard like a crack team of archaeologists to reveal whether it's a Sutton Hoo or Sutton Poo they've been sitting on all these years. But first, the Boys catch up on what they've been playing this week as Sarah's been scared sick, Glenn's cringing through an old classic and Pierre's struggling to get a word in edgeways. *Citation needed To follow along with the Button Boys outside the podcast: Pierre - ⁠You Sit There, I'll Stand Here⁠ Glenn - ⁠Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore Glenn and Producer Ben - ⁠The Audience VS⁠ ⁠Sarah's Melbourne Show⁠ If you can't get enough Button Boys content, head over to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, where you can find our weekly Hidden Cache bonus episode featuring more gripes, game recommendations and our Hitman: World of Assassination playthrough, and Player 4, where we interview a different comedian every month about their gaming lives.
