14. Codenames

In this episode we talk about the Codenames with Codemaster Cole and the Evil Ant. Codenames and Codewords are arguably the core of codes, so we decided to finally get to them, with Steve's Tips included. Plus, hear the story, in which Dangerous Dave arrives (at the very end). This episode features more sound effects, so if you thought this show was boring, think again.
