<description><![CDATA[<p>The Big Unit had a problem with the combobulator so while Mitchell was taking the ship into the shop, Jacob and Nick went out on the town and hit up a local bar. While they were there, they ran into Local Townsperson Joubin Izadi who also happened to have a Nintendo Switch with Crypt of the Necrodancer installed!
