ZETA HAS BEGUN. Well, it began. And then the very first Zeta of the run came to an end. Sleep through it? Work during it? Did you have to exit, pursued by bears, and couldn’t watch the stream? We’ve got you covered with the night’s highlights!

Let’s begin at the beginning:

But, like, what is a peep? Are the real peeps the friends we made along the way?

After years of using the song, Zeta finally plays Numberwang

We finally get a short, concise, understandable* primer on Blaseball!

*Explanation may not be short, concise, or understandable. It is entertaining, though

The best part of waking up, is probably not Foldger’s in Serge’s cup.

Cameron discusses the potential biology of a minion. It is A Lot.

Now, this is a stretch, but… Here’s a stretch.

How about a recap within a recap?

And as our broadcast day comes to a close, we here at Zeta wish you a good, and mildly confusing day.
