Daniel from ModBot joins in as the first guest for Mario's Minute!

Daniel started out on YouTube as thedopesoner930 and was in the realm of console modifications, after speaking privately to him and doing our first collaboration on a Destiny video I made, we decided to start up ModChat as our monthly podcast. I aim for guest episodes to be more of a conversation than an interview, that makes for some natural banter and a relaxed environment for everyone involved, so I plan for future guest episodes to be similar to this. Join us as we talk about 4K upgrades, the recent cryptocurrency boom, and what games we've been obsessing over.
