Welcome back to "The Big Red Button"—where the wasteland is lawless, dice are deadly, and chaos reigns supreme!

In this episode, our adventurers kick off a new live season, diving headfirst into firefights, cultist chaos, and questionable medical decisions in the post-apocalyptic Fallout world. From saving ghouls to navigating super mutant antics, nothing is predictable—and everything is dramatic.

Episode Highlights:

• Live Mayhem: For the first time ever, the crew broadcasts live on Twitch! Expect improvised chaos, dice-driven consequences, and plenty of fourth-wall-breaking antics.
• Dramatic Rescues: The team races against time to save Robert Short after a sniper attack. Houston’s desperate “true love’s kiss” attempt and Mr. Winger’s stimpack intervention lead to tense, darkly comedic moments.
• Super Mutant Squad: The seven super mutants prove their loyalty, forming a protective perimeter and offering unexpected muscle as the team navigates Harrison’s perilous streets.
• Scavenger Hunt: Searching for medical supplies across abandoned buildings, our heroes scavenge, roll dice, and improvise in a high-stakes bid to save their friend—because in the wasteland, ingenuity can be life or death.
• Onward to Harrison: With danger lurking and an uncertain battlefield ahead, the party prepares to confront cultist raiders and uncover new mysteries in the north.
