DK Vine

Tropical Freeze begins with Donkey Kong's birthday. But which day of the year should we celebrate? This is your invitation for a #DKULoreTour on birthdays in the world of DK and Rare. We'll jump across the decades to determine the EXACT date of DK's birth! LINK BELOW ↓↓↓

We record this Friday at 3 PM EST/12 PM PST (8 PM GMT)! If you'd like to argue why a certain character deserves to rank high, call 1-202-630-VINE (8463). Note that we'll only play a couple calls this time around, but $5 and up Patrons can listen in live! patreon.com/dkvine
