Send us a Text Message.Can laughing about personal insecurities foster deeper friendships? Join us as we kick off with a chaotic, laugh-out-loud intro that sets the stage for an episode brimming with heartfelt moments and humor. We dive into our trio's playful dynamics and the bonds strengthened over the years, celebrating Brittany's inspiring weight loss journey and fantasizing about a dream trip to Jamaica, despite the inevitable logistical nightmares. We explore how tackling personal grooming choices, especially Steve's controversial decision to stay clean-shaven, can spark friendly debates while stressing the importance of personal choice and defying societal expectations.From light-hearted banter to heavier topics, we shift gears to discuss a tragic local incident that shook our community and reflect on society's eerie fascination with morbid events. Our conversation takes a turn towards the infamous Gypsy Rose case, exploring the profound impact of personal trauma and the resilience it can foster, drawing parallels to how influential figures like Eminem transform pain into art. We also recount the chaos and fun of an emo-themed party, discussing the music that defined the night and the unexpected drama that unfolded.Finally, we celebrate our geekier passions without shame, sharing our experiences at Fandom Fest and the supportive communities that have helped us embrace our interests.

Ohba discusses his tokusatsu beginnings as a stuntman/suit actor in shows like Kikaider, being mentored by Sonny Chiba, mentoring Godzilla actor Tom Kitagawa, the difficulties of stunt work, how working on tokusatsu TV shows has changed over the years, and of course, the continued popularity of the Space Sheriff Gavan character (who he still plays to this day). Tune in and enjoy! Special thanks to Hiro Kitagawa for translating for this interview.

Brent threw down the gauntlet with this episode – if you can find an uglier patch of carpet than what he has in his workroom, then you win absolutely nothing - nada, zip, zilch…basically just bragging rights on the fact that you’re keeping it real while working on your games. We have the usual gameroom and hobby updates, discuss Fandom Fest, collecting Funco Pops (we even open a few on air) discuss the good/bad on various multimeters, spend some of Brent’s money and discuss a topic that we thought would never be covered on an arcade/pinball podcast - the arrest of legendary pinball designer John Trudeau. All this and feedback too – August 2017 goes down in the history books. The post 58: Tough as nails but ugly as sin first appeared on Brokentoken.com.
