We are back with another installment of Kevin and Mike talk movies and this time we are diving into the movies True Lies and Bo Burnham: Inside.

From explosions and stunts to quality comedy and great one liners, it was a good time. Bo Burnham: Inside is a comedy special that was written, directed, filmed, edited by and starring Bo Burnham. It's about how staying inside during the pandemic takes a toll on one's mental health, among other things.

There have been plenty of big changes & shifts in the home inspection industry this past year. From the pandemic to big acquisitions to new ways of thinking about our business. As the case with any industry (and life), we must adapt. We must stay ahead of the curve as a business and help support you as our Spectora family in staying ahead of trends that impact you and your livelihood. Kevin & Mike discuss recent acquisitions, how it could impact Spectora and all home inspectors, and kick around ideas on how inspectors can ethically and selectively be in control of their user's experience and increase ARPI (average revenue per inspection) by partnering with services & products that consumers want. Could there be a race to the bottom in prices? Could large companies try to make home inspections a complete commodity? How are you planning to adapt as big money comes into our space?  

This week Ando returns to talk broken chairs, celebrity deaths, where are they now, and all the Spider Men. Also: Ando previews Shadows of a Dark Past Season 2 & reveals everything about the first half of Season 1 (SPOILERS!), and Kevin & Mike have a Q&A!

Kevin & Mike discuss the concept of generating Pokémon - this has been around for possibly longer than you think it has, and barring any kind of precisely-worded ban, it won't be going anywhere anytime soon. We hope this can educate, or at least provoke some interesting thought on the topic.   Pokésports will now also be recording live on YouTube instead of Twitch. Make sure you check that out next Sunday at 9pm EST!

You’ve probably seen Sarah Frier, since she’s been an award-winning tech reporter with Bloomberg News for 9 years. But have you read her thrilling new book “No Filter” ? It’s the inside story of how Instagram became the most culturally defining app of the decade. And how this 13-person company sold to Facebook for a Billion dollars. Sarah had unprecedented access… from the founders of Instagram, as well as employees, executives, and competitors; Anna Wintour of Vogue; Kris Jenner of the Kardashian-Jenner empire; and a ton of Instagram influencers worldwide. In 2010, Kevin Systrom & Mike Krieger released a photo-sharing app called Instagram, with 1 simple but irresistible feature: it would make anything you captured look more beautiful. After the acquisition by Facebook, Kevin & Mike stayed on, trying to maintain Instagram’s beauty, brand, and cachet. They considered their app a separate company within the social networking giant. They urged their employees to make changes only when necessary, resisting Facebook’s grow-at-all-costs philosophy in favor of a strategy that highlighted creativity & celebrity. But… Just as Instagram was about to reach a billion users, Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg —once supportive of the founders’ autonomy— began to feel threatened by Instagram’s success. And that’s where the story really gets interesting. It’s ALL about the culture of your company. Sarah shares the story behind Instagram’s & Facebook’s cultures.  

Have you ever found yourself asking "What does Pokésports even do?"? Well, if so, get ready for an episode dedicated to all the things that Pokésports's own Kevin & Mike do. It's a look behind the curtain. If you're looking for Pokémon content today though, don't worry. We've got you covered there too.

In which Kevin & Mike discuss the upcoming new meta, the changes that it'll bring, and what you can do to get yourself mentally prepared for it.

Kevin & Mike do their absolute best to get through every single competitive thing about The Isle of Armor that you should know in order to step your game up in the DLC. Happy Belated Fathers Day to all the fathers out there! If you know what a Praline is, you're more in the know than either of these guys.

Kevin & Mike are SUPER excited for the Isle of Armor DLC. So excited that they decided to put together a team they can each use right from the get-go. You'll get the entire thought process of building a team, from type matchups to moves to abilities to items.

It's important to understand what makes teams tick. Usually, looking into the heart of a team, you'll find 2 or 3 common Pokemon the team could not survive without. Kevin & Mike delve into what this means, exactly, and how you can create your own Smogon and VGC cores.

The name is a trick! There are more ways to play once home comes, but "more ways to play" is coming home! Aren't we clever? Kevin & Mike discuss all the new Pokémon Home news & rumors, and discuss why this is a powerful moment for Pokémon in esports.

Kevin & Mike get into extreme detail with how to breed & teambuild in Pokémon Sword & Shield!
