It's Second Breakfast time again! First up, Jon is joined by Chris and Chad for a little on-air hangout (Rings of Power spoilers 14:20-22:10 if you haven't seen S2E8). Next, Sabina and Dominic drop by for their annual visit (the kids, they keep growing!), followed by friend of the show Autumn and newcomer Spencer. Then we've got the 3-headed-dragon meme of Doug, Kyle, and Splice - you decide which is which part of the meme. Finally, Chris (there are a lot of them) and Craig stop in to wrap us up.

Thanks to the Freemen of the North for hosting Con of the Rings, and thanks to our amazing Patrons for making the show possible. Enjoy this one on us!
