That muscular cat can sure cook up some good grub.  Pass me the bespoke tartar sauce that got the rave reviews online, I am nearly finished with my final fantasy 6 playthrough and I need some energy after spending all night browsing reddit and trying and failing to buy a GPU.

Yeah, that little thing is pretty important.  So, don't drink too much Nuka Victory Cola from your giant theater soda cup.  Your Pancreas will thank you.

Man, according to that guy on youtube that has a really slick goatee, I need to have my gamer card revoked due to my infection with the woke mind virus.  Sheesh.  I thought I was a real gamer, but I guess not.  Wokesters like us cannot be true gamers, even if we put over 50 hours a week into Morrowind.

Nintendo was wrong, 2025 is going to be the year of Luigi for sure.  TJ is ill and missing, presumed possibly dead.  We chat about Superman, comic book movies in general, Jon learning Japanese, and we dredge through some really yucky AITA posts from reddit dot com.

Boy, can you tell what week this episode was recorded?  Man, nothing bad at all happened to anyone or the world that week at all.  I know we record these in advance, but man has it been a while...  I guess Jon has a pretty good excuse.

Oh snap, we saw a big red one this year.  SOS, amirite? IYKYK.  Man, this was way too long right?  Needed a script edit.  At least we get to see sexy JK Simmons crawl around like a little mink.  And look at Lil' Rock, he is totes adorbs.

What a nice flavor, to have on the back end.  You like My Hero Academia?  We talk about it a bunch in this one.  Man, those kids (not you Mineta) are the best right?

Jon continues having his mid-life crisis talking about the wonderful time he had back in college.  Except when he went to parties and there were high-schoolers there.. ew...  Also, just so you know, anyone can buy that mug, it means nothing unless you EARN it.

I'm gonna be honest about this one. Jon is definitely having a mid-life crisis right?  Talking about college while his friends from college have kids moving into their college dorms.  Life comes at you fast.

So, there is a jump scare at the end of this episode. Do not worry, everyone is fine, how are you?

We chat about old restaurant franchises of yore, as well as the latest streamer controversy.  Ah yes, you didn't break any laws, but that doesn't make it any less creepy.  Now that the summer games announcements are over, we chat about everything we are looking forward to in the fall.  But, honestly Jon is probably just going to be playing ArmA and World of Warcraft.

He was born in Bricklehem, and destined to die for our plastic sins.  Drink some Skittles cocktail and get turnt in his memory!  Rasputin has definitely never seen a Zebra before, and would also hate human-ticketmaster people scalping pretty much anything you want to buy.

Well well well... look who decided to come back?  Someone who has a potato for a microphone, but we love him anyhow.  Topics range from animated faves, to Xanga blog raves.

Yeah, I was on the Varsity DOTA2 squad.  Check out my letterman jacket.  Man, I would have been so into esports in High School.   Instead I was likely saying very ignorant things while playing CS 1.6, Team Fortress and Tribes.  Well, it was a different time after all.

If you are gonna record a podcast, you better hit record first.  Anyhoo, after Jon's recording kerfuffle, we talk of dental procedures, malls of our childhood, Chinese Pepsi flavors, what streaming services we actually have and what is actually on them right now, and we time travel back to 2005 in Jon's Xanga blog.

Whoa. Cringe dude.  Just keep on keepin on my friend, and don't think about the super embarrassing blogs you used to read, and the super personal stuff you used to post about. 2005 was a different time man...
