  1. Excellent as always guys. I can't wait to see Brent's pin board with all the red thread for his Donkey Kong family tree theories on the Patreon. :) P.S. Why couldn't Donkey Kong Jr. have grown up to have Donkey Kong from DKC? P.P.S. Diddy Kong is some kind of monkey with a tail. Donkey Kong is a gorilla, from the same family of apes as chimpanzees - both without tails. So Diddy and Donkey shouldn't be related, at least not by birth.
