No guest this week. Just Pete and Devin.
Before Season 2 gets going, they sit down to talk about where Realm Runners is headed: who the first guests are, what the show looks like with Devin as a full co-host, and everything else that makes this feel like a real new chapter.
Consider this the introductions before the run begins.
