Ricky and Joe then catch us up in what they have been involved in since they left the Serotek podcast network. The conversation then moves to a passion of Joe’s accessible gaming for the low vision and totally blind. We discuss the game of the year for 2020, The Last of Us 2, not to worry as Brian butchers the name of the game several times. This is Us is a TV Show and The Last of Us is a video game. Ricky and Joe then walk us through their earliest experiences with assistive technology. Brian then gets his long awaited answer to why Joe is not a huge Apple fan boy, and the answer really catches Brian by surprise. We get Joe’s opinion of gaming from a low vision perspective in 2021 and Ricky’s opinion from a totally blind perspective. Joe then gives us the latest on what is going on with Blind Bargains. And we finally get an answer to the question ancient philosophers have been asking for years, what’s the meaning of the rickey Enger wake up song.        ,
