Oh where to begin? This week we talked about our boy Chris got to be on a very cool comedy showcase with one of our favorite rappers, Thomas' new found love and obsession, that reignited that video game love Dark Souls 3 and the craziness of boss battles from back in the day. Oh and I finally got Chris to start watching One Piece!RIP John Witherspoon
What's up folks, so this week is a mixed bag, so unfortunately everyone's schedule was hella crazy this weekend (for great reasons, we coming up!) so we didn't get to record like usual, fear not though you still get an episode! it's just a little short. Me and Chris sit down to talk about how Comedy and the Dark Souls series of games go hand in hand and can teach you great life lessons Oh also....WE GOT AN INTRO NOW. And it's F*ckin dope, Shout out to an old friend Justin, he killed it. If any thing, turn this ep on just so you can hear this.
The new season of My Hero Academia is here and Chris and Thomas are all in, this week we pretty much just nerd out over everyone's favorite new show.

This week we're recording in the Clinton House (Thomas' Place) for a cozy little chat about how Demon Slayer has definitely moved into our #1 spot for currently running shows. A little chat about the similarities between all shows that take place in the same genre. Finally the new Joker movie is out, are Chris and Thomas gonna go see it?
It's all about the protagonist vibe this week, we talk about whether or not Tanjiro (Demon Slayer) is a good main character and what makes an anime protag interesting; before that though we dive into our own protagonist stories and chop it up about the Stand up comedy grind and our most umm "developmental" losses.
