DAOC IS BACK, and this time, we have 3 HOSTS for the price of 2! Today our new Business Boy Armaan tests his hosting skills taking us through the history of the ill-fated video game publisher Acclaim Entertainment. Meanwhile, CT and Evan take vigorous notes, judging him harshly but fairly in three hosting categories: taste, plating, and use of the secret ingredient. NEW EPISODES WILL BE POSTED MONTHLY (FOR NOW)! BIG THINGS ARE COMING!
