It is the 100th episode of Outside of the Box and of course I had to have the duo who kicked this show off in the first place - Zach and Diana from Skorpios! This was recorded before the round of 32 so we talked about the season up to that point as well as Dragon King's matches. This was such a fun episode and just a stellar editing job by Mallet Media. Thank you to everyone who has supported this show and here is to 100 more episodes!
