These were some wild episodes that included a curry count, a werewolf army and a slinky boy. You're going to have a great time or your money back!
When you walk away, you don't hear me say, that Martin Felshman of Podzooky is back on the show with an AMAZING surprise. Watch this one with someone you love if you can. Support the show on Patreon Field Notes Straight from the world of Kingdom Hearts, we have our very own Neo-Chicago themed Keyblade! That's right, once Thought Cops inevitably becomes a Disney, property you can visit the wonderful, neon-clad world of Neo-Chicago with Sora and his friends. Probably. Thanks again Martin! This is too cool. We talk about Mr. Beast: the new Christ and future president of the United States. AI is a bit of a mixed bag this week. On one hand, people are getting caught watching deepfake pr0n of their friends. On the other, someone made Seinfeld into a PS1-looking, never-ending streaming prompt. Maybe it's all bad? Probably.
