So a plumber, a mushroom, and a dinosaur walk into a bar …

That sounds like the beginning to a pretty stupid joke, but I bet that you at least know that it’s a Mario joke.

I say that makes Mario and his crew kind of a big deal. Hopefully, you think so too and will enjoy this week’s show. A part one of two separate episodes dedicated to the life and times of the industry’s most recognizable mascot: Mario. (Luigi gets some props, too.)
