This week, the Button Boys are tearing up the rulebook and heading off-road in our first-ever non-themed episode. They can say and do whatever the heck they want and there's nothing you or I, their producer, can do about it.
Sarah gets a Greek blast from the past, Pierre's happy the kids have gone and Glenn's been playing a contender for his game of the year before the lot of them tackle VR, COVID, The Traitors and hotel Wi-Fi in what some people are describing as one of the most 'urgent' and 'pressing' podcast episodes of the year.
For those who fear this topical lawlessness don't worry, Glenn's still got a slippery gripe for you right at the end.

That's right, it's all things comfortable as the Boys discuss the games they turn to when they want to feel snug as proverbial bugs. From age-old favourites to weather-beaten inns, there's something for everyone.
Elsewhere, Sarah's recommendation gets its satisfying hooks into Pierre, who finds himself wanting more and more, while Sarah has moved on to an equally relaxing and beautiful game. Meanwhile Glenn's been playing cartoons and has suffered perhaps the most humiliating gaming moment of his life.

The Biggest Spooks: A Halloween Special
They're spooky and they're kooky, they're all obsessed with booty, video games and poopy, the Button (boy) Family... It's a Halloween special this week as the Boys discuss the scariest games they've ever played, from the unsettling to the outright terrifying.
Sarah's been finding ways to unwind and then wind right back up this week with their game choices, Pierre's frustrated by nonsensical lore and Glenn's discovered what can only be described as, "gamer's crack".
And as if you weren't scared enough already, Glenn reveals his pathological ability to not get scared and the only game that really got to him.

Unforgettable Sequences
Buckle up your buckles, it's another episode of Button Boys. This week the Boys discuss those jaw-dropping gaming moments that never leave you, for better or worse. From big bummed Bandicoots to the frozen tundra, we relive some of video games' best and most shocking sequences.
The adrenaline rush doesn't stop there as Pierre decapitates his enemies in his first Game Pass game, Sarah comes face to face with a real-life game developer and Glenn... well Glenn struggles to put one foot in front of the other.
This week also sees the big reveal, the moment you've all be waiting for. Which of the three candidates; Loch Ness, Pippa Funnel: The Stud Farm Inheritance and Hell Let Loose, has won our listener poll to be played next on Hidden Cache.
And if the episode weren't action packed enough we've managed to find time to squeeze in a little gripe and let's just say, Glenn's feeling a little less than sympathetic.
