Besties Battle Bracket: The Best Sidekick
Added 2024-08-05 04:00:00 +0000 UTC
It feels a bit cruel to pit sidekicks against one another. These lovable Plus-Ones have spent their whole lives playing supporting roles. Yet when we give them the spotlight, it's part of a battle royale in which only one will survive.
So it must be. We are but humble scientists dedicated to uncovering the truth of the universe. When you dear listeners voted for sidekicks in our Patreon Poll, we accepted the challenge. No questions asked.
The results, I fear, may shock and horrify you! You asked for this!!!
